And You Thought You'd Been Hired to Teach English
As the global association for English language educators, TESOL values individual language rights, collaboration in a global community, and respect for diversity and multiculturalism. TESOL strongly opposes bullying, harassment, and hate crimes... TESOL supports:
• Development of educational practices by TESOL professionals to assist students and scholars experiencing bullying, harassment, and hate crimes;
• Development of educational practices by TESOL professionals to teach majority-group members the value of diversity and of the human and civil rights of minorities;
• Creation of opportunities by TESOL professionals for members of minority groups to educate their peers;
• Encouragement by TESOL professionals of appreciation and respect for those who do not look/behave like the majority.
