The purpose of this on-line survey is to learn more about the working conditions of full-time and part-time ESOL teachers who work in the adult basic education and literacy system and the programs in which they work. The information will help TESOL as well as others in the field to plan advocacy efforts and better understand where action needs to be taken. TESOL has distributed the survey widely thorough their network but we want to make sure all ESOL teachers, including those who may not be TESOL members, have an opportunity to participate. I know looming budget cuts are very much on our minds this week. I hope the results of this survey will be one more tool we can use to support the need for funding to serve immigrant adults and youth. Please feel free to forward the message below to listserv’s in your state and directly to colleagues who can support this effort. Dear___________________: Are you an ESOL instructor in an adult education or adult literacy program? If so, the TESOL Adult Education Interest Section (AEIS) would like you to complete a brief online survey. The purpose of this survey is to learn more about the working conditions of full-time and part-time ESOL teachers who work in the adult basic education and literacy system. ESOL teachers whose work is funded by national, state, or local adult education funds and those in noncredit community college and college programs for students not ready to enter postsecondary education meet the critieria for this survey. You do not need to be a TESOL member to complete the survey. This information will help the TESOL and our field to identify areas where action needs to be taken and plan advocacy efforts directed toward achieving equitable working conditions for teachers in adult education. The survey is available online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=33385723995 The results of the survey will be shared at the 2005 TESOL convention in San Antonio, Texas, in the United States, and will also be posted on the electronic discussion lists used by adult education ESOL teachers. The survey is available online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=33385723995 For more information, please contact Yilin Sun at yilsun@sccd.ctc.edu or Marilyn Gillespie at marilyn.gillespie@sri.com. Thank you very much for helping with this project. Please complete this survey by February 25, 2005.
