Arkansas Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ARKTESOL) seeks to promote opportunity for the teaching and learning of English as an additional language in Arkansas to individuals whose first language is not English.
ARKTESOL was recognized in 1980 as a state affiliate of TESOL International Association and is now incorporated as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization under the laws of Arkansas.
Our beliefs and vision are expressed in the ARKTESOL Constitution. Additional information about governance can be found in the Bylaws.
