A TESOL International Membership Benefit for NJTESOL/NJBE Members

 

Shared by Kathleen Fernandez, Executive Director of NJTESOL NJBE

NJTESOL/NJBE is proud to be part of the TESOL International Association’s global Affiliate Network. Being active with NJTESOL/NJBE means you’re already connected to a local community of English language teaching professionals — and TESOL International membership extends that even further, with access to global research, professional development, advocacy resources, and the TESOL International Convention.

As an active NJTESOL/NJBE member, you can save 20% on TESOL International membership — whether you’re joining for the first time or renewing. This is in addition to everything you already get as a member of NJTESOL/NJBE — not a replacement for it.

There are many benefits to joining TESOL International. Our affiliate discount code is NJTESOL20.
