Our Mission Statement

We are a department of KOTESOL. As such, our aim is to help fulfill KOTESOL's mission, which is:

"To promote scholarship, disseminate information, and facilitate cross-cultural understanding among persons concerned with the teaching and learning of English in Korea."

We aim to accomplish the KOTESOL mission by supporting English instruction in Korea through providing training and resources for teachers.

KTT has three major functions -

• to provide quality presenters to chapters that have difficulty finding speakers for monthly meetings

• to organize outreach events for members in more remote locations

• to provide tailored training events for groups of teachers or chapters on request. 

Teacher Training Groups in our affiliates :

JALT- Teacher Education SIG

 While we recognize many good teacher-training programs exist, KOTESOL and KTT are not currently involved in endorsing any one specific training or certification agency. As best as is possible we do want our members to be aware of what options do exist for on-site training in Korea. Here are the choices we currently know of:
