INTESOL Mission Statement

INTESOL’s mission is to strengthen the effective teaching and learning of English as a Second Language in the State of Indiana while

respecting individuals’ language and cultural backgrounds.

To this end, INTESOL, as a statewide professional association, supports and

seeks to inspire those involved in English language teaching, teacher education, administration and management, curriculum and materials

design, and research; provides leadership and direction through the dissemination and exchange of information and resources; encourages access to and standards for English language instruction, professional

preparation, and employment; and supports the initiatives of its international parent organization TESOL, Inc.

2016 Keynote: Yasuko Kanno“English Learners’ Access to

Post secondary Education and Opportunity to Learn in High School”

English learners (ELs) are currently the fastest growing group in U.S. public schools. By 2025, they are expected to represent 25% of the K-12 public school student body. Theoretically, those students who are institutionally identified as ELs are entitled by federal law to receive academic and linguistic services that will help them achieve parity with English-proficient students. In reality, however, EL identification often comes at a cost: ELs in high school are systematically assigned to low-track courses and do not receive sufficient guidance on postsecondary education. In this keynote, through presentation of national datasets and ethnographic case studies, I demonstrate how ELs’ opportunity to learn in high school is compromised and consequently, how a large number of ELs graduate from high school neither college- nor career-ready.

Yasuko Kanno

Yasuko Kanno is Associate Professor in the College of Education at Temple University, where she is also the coordinator of the TESOL Program. Recipient of the 2015 TESOL Award for Distinguished Research, Kanno is interested in English language learners’ access to postsecondary education and how K-12 public schools shape ELLs’ postsecondary choices. Her work has appeared in American Educational Research Journal, Teachers College Record, TESOL Quarterly, Modern Language Journal, Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, among others. She is also Co-Editor of the Journal of Language, Identity, and Education.

As a teacher educator, she teaches a variety of TESOL courses, including an undergraduate introductory course in English Language Learner Education, graduate courses in sociopolitical aspects of language teaching and learning, bilingual education and bilingualism, and language teaching methods. At home, she is the mom of an energetic and incredibly social 12-year-old son and spends far more time baking cookies and and cakes than she should.
