TESOL Arabia 2019 strives to expand its influence as a professional organization that is widely recognized for helping ELT educators define, support, and engage in highly effective professional development opportunities. For over 24 years now, TESOL Arabia has had the privilege of supporting English language professionals and educators by means of its annual International Conference, its local and regional events, grants, scholarships and publications. In-keeping with this long tradition, and as we look towards the future, TESOL Arabia 2019 continues its commitment to that support by responding to the needs of the TESOL community in the UAE, the Gulf and MENA Regions. TESOL is an area of remarkable growth and research across the globe and we strongly believe that professional learning must continue to evolve and grow at a similar pace.
