KOTESOL Happenings and News

KOTESOL Happenings and News is a companion publication of The English Connection (TEC). It is a quarterly newsletter published midway between publication of issues of TEC – in the middle of the months of January, April, July, and October.

While TEC focuses on articles related to practical ELT techniques for the EFL classroom and to the teaching profession, HAN focuses on events and news items within Korea TESOL as an organization. These include conferences, workshops, meetings, and social events organized by KOTESOL committees, chapters, and SIGs.

KOTESOL Proceedings are compilations of the content presented at KOTESOL's annual international conferences. More than just extended summaries, these proceedings are journal-style publications. Past issues are available for download in PDF format. The most recent issue of Proceedings are available for download for current members only.

TEC News

TEC News was Korea TESOL's online companion publication to The English Connection (TEC). It was a quarterly publication for several years (2011-13). TEC News contained news about KOTESOL's Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). It also carried news on ELT conferences, calendars of events for KOTESOL and ELT conferences in Korea and international. Also included was a handy, yet extensive, KOTESOL Directory of National and Chapter officers and other position-holders in KOTESOL. (Publication has been discontinued.)

The KOTESOL Handbook

The KOTESOL Handbook was published in 1999 through the collective efforts of a team of authors and editors. Only a few hardcopies were printed at the time. However, a digital version of the Handbook is still available online.

Chapter & SIG Newsletters

Many KOTESOL Chapters and SIGs create their own local periodicals. These are linked from the Chapter / SIG homepages. A current listing of newsletter homepages is available.
