A.  Subscriptions to Professional Organizations: TESL-L and TESLCA-L, TESLK-12 and TESP-L

TESL-L is a large, world-wide discussion list of professional teachers.  It has several branches, some of which are of interest to us for the purposes of this session, for example, TESLCA-L, TESP-L, and TESLK-12 (see the description of the branches at http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/~tesl-l/branch.html).  

In order to be subscribed to the sublists or branches, you will also need to be subscribed to the main list (TESL-L).  However, since the main list and TESLCA-L may generate a substantial number of messages PER day, you may want to set up a Personal Folder in order not to have your mail account overloaded.

Directions for subscribing toTESL-L, TESLCA-L, TESLK-12, or TESP-L (Teaching English for Special Purposes) or other branches of TESL-L: 

1.  Click on the link http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/~tesl-l/.  Follow the directions for
