Welcome to the NNEST Interest Section Website! We're glad you're
here.
As the NNEST CAUCUS we had a great 10 years, and our thanks to
all the Caucus Members and all the Caucus Leaders who lead us so well and so
far. We must particularly mention all the Caucus
Presidents: George Braine, Jun Liu, Lia Kamhi-Stein, Paul Matsuda, Masaki
Oda, Ahmar Mahboob, Lucie Moussu, Karen Newman, Luciana C. de Oliveira.
Now, as the NNEST INTEREST SECTION, with new roles, new
orientations on research, and new areas for outreach, we will work hard to
achieve the same kind of success that the Caucus had and we hope you'll join us
in making that happen. It is very important to us that the Interest Section find
ways to maintain the sense of community, the support for member publication, and
the commitment to developing new leaders that so characterized the Caucus. Those
are some big shoes to fill, but together we can manage it.
Over the next few months as the transition from Caucus to
Interest Section occurs, we may need some help from you--engaging in processes
like indicating that you want to be an NNEST Interest Section Member (and we
hope you'll decide to make the NNEST IS your primary Interest Section), and
participating in Interest Section elections (which we intend to carry out online
in February so new officers will be ready to lead at the TESOL Convention in
Denver). When we have guidance from Central Office on such matters we will let
you know as soon as we can--your participation gives our Interest Section all
its meaning..
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don't hesitate
to contact us--we'll do our best to help
