Organized by TESOL International Association (TESOL) and Sookmyung Women’s University (SMU), this two-day academy provides ELT teachers, teacher trainers, and administrators with the latest thinking on building quality ELT organizations and programs through effective leadership, management, and teacher training.

The academy format combines elements of a traditional conference with in-depth, hands-on workshops led by globally recognized experts to provide you with practical, research-based ideas, strategies, and tools to help you improve the quality of your ELT organization. You will also have numerous opportunities for networking and knowledge-sharing with your peers, both face-to-face and online after the academy.

At the end of the two-day event, you will earn TESOL International Association’s ELT Leadership Management Certificate, which is usually available at the TESOL International Convention & English Language Expo. To receive the certificate, you must complete 2 of the 3 workshops (K1–K3).

TESOL gratefully acknowledges the support of KOTESOL, an affiliate of TESOL International Association, and National Geographic Learning, a TESOL Strategic Partner.
