HAWAII TESOLJoining the Hawaii TESOL community can be beneficial as it gives me the opportunity to expand my networks with those here in Hawaii. The Hawaii TESOL community also hold regular events to encourage social gatherings of all those within this particular association. The next social event coming up for example is 15th September 2015. They also let members know about upcoming TESOL conferences and encourage them to attend.

TESOL asiaConnecting with peers from TESOL Asia would be significant for me considering I hope to work in Asia after completing university studies. This would be a good place to start. I know there is a huge demand for english teaching instructors here and through this association I would be able to easily find employment opportunities. I think connecting with this association will also help to further my TESOL education, pointing me in the right direction to improve myself as a TESOL teacher. I will also be able to find out about TESOL conferences nearby.
