Aloha and Welcome to the Website of the
TESL Reporter.

The TESL Reporter was “born” back in 1967 in a conversation between William Conway and Alice Pack, two faculty members of Brigham Young University Hawaii. At the time, the university was about to launch both an ESL program for matriculated international students and an undergraduate (B.A.) major in TESOL (perhaps the first of its kind in North America). The creation of a publication that would serve the purposes of the faculty in these two programs and in similar endeavors in the South Pacific just seemed like the natural thing to do. After all, there were only two other journals which served the field of ESL back then: The TESOL Quarterly (its first two issues just off the press) and the older, English Language Teaching Journal out of England.

The TESL Reporter has remained in print ever since, though undergoing several changes in editorships, readership, and appearance in the ensuing years. What has not changed, however, since that first conversation, is the commitment and the focus of the journal. It has remained a journal for teachers by teachers, with a solid focus on the classroom.

Today the TESL Reporter has readers in nearly 110 countries. Our international review board is proud of its commitment to publish the ideas of teachers the world over. We encourage you to become a part of that effort!

Sincerely,
Maureen Andrade, Editor
