For change to occur, it is not enough to impose; we must live it together, not alone in our ESL classroom. Every collaborator must have their voice in this innovative approach. Experimentation is at the heart of this process. Our approach serves to co-construct this transformation and calls on collective intelligence to achieve those results: 

• Binding pedagogigal and evaluation practices in an ESL classroom

• Working in collaboration 

• Giving meaning to ESL learning 

• Supporting new ESL teachers 

• Developping organizational tools  

 

If you wish to add collective intelligence in your ESL teamwork, come see us.

ESL teacher career trajectories begin during the training years and can prove as a potential determiner for professional satisfaction and a positive professional identity. Given the teacher shortage across the province as well as the dwindling numbers in TESL program admissions, it is no wonder ESL teacher-candidates are among the most vulnerable language specialists in Québec. This interactive presentation highlights the impact of the challenges faced by ESL teacher-candidates during their training years, as it relates to their professional identity development. It also suggests possibilities for fostering and promoting its development during these formative years.
