      What is English to You? University students’ attitudes to English

      For young people in Europe today, English is no longer a foreign language in the traditional sense, but rather an additional language with which they come into contact while still learning their first language and one they interact with daily, especially if they choose to study English at the university level. This talk will engage the audience in thinking about their rapport with English and will report the results of an extensive online survey among students at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. This is part of a developing project to investigate when and to what extent young people use English and what their attitudes towards English and their first language(s) are, with Italy being one of the countries included in the SPEAKEng project.

      What is TESOL Italy’s mission?
      Its mission is to develop the expertise of those involved in teaching English to speakers of other languages and to foster professional growth and active participation in language teaching. This includes promoting community understanding of the role of language in a progressively changing environment while respecting individual language rights.


      Who does TESOL Italy collaborate with?

      Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR)
      The U.S. Embassy – Public Affairs Section
      The British Council
      INDIRE
      Other Professional Language Associations:
      ANILS, LEND, AISPI, ADILT, etc.

      • Pre-service and in-service training
      • Self-development opportunities

      The Newsletter (five times a year) and the academic journal, Perspectives (twice a year). Members can
      also start or join a local group anywhere in Italy.


      What exactly are local groups?
      Local groups are made up of at least five TESOL Italy members. These groups organize and hold
      professional development activities in their areas. Existing groups are located in Benevento, Bologna,  Formia, L’Aquila, Marche, Messina, Napoli, Palermo, Roma, TRIESTE, Val d’Adige, and Venezia.


      TESOL Trieste Local Group The TESOL Trieste Local Group was officially recognized by TESOL Italy on January 1, 2018.  Janine Sprague Zolle is the TESOL Trieste Local Group Coordinator.


      A local group does many different things but basically it is a group of enthusiastic teachers who share a common goal – to engage in developing personally and professionally as EFL educators. The idea that “we are our own best resource” is empowering; it is the foundation of all grassroots organizations and what guides all local group activities.
      Please remember that TESOL Italy is also accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) Direttiva 170/2016


      For more information about becoming a member of TESOL Italy, go to this LINK.  The TESOL Membership Year is from January 1st until December 31st.
