Come join Jeonju-North Jeolla KOTESOL for our December workshop.

We will start with a workshop full of easy activities and ideas you can use in your classes on Monday morning. They can be adapted for different ages and ability levels. Long-time JNJ KOTESOL member Allison Bill will be the presenter, as her last presentation before leaving Korea.

We will then hold our annual elections, so if you'd like to be involved in helping local teachers by organizing workshops and events, please join us.

To run for these three key positions, members need to have been part of KOTESOL for at least one year prior to the elections. Each term lasts just one year, but officers are welcome to run again the following year.
All KOTESOL officer positions are volunteer roles, offering the opportunity to contribute to our community with benefits such as enhancing our interpersonal connections, finding ways to improve the quality of life for teachers in Korea, and developing valuable skills in leadership, technology, and event planning.
