Aloha Hawai‘i TESOL Members,

Whenever possible, we try to collaborate with members of our sister affiliate, TESOL Ukraine,
and recently an exciting opportunity to do so was announced. The Exploring & Enacting Holistic
Language Pedagogies virtual project has the aim of forming a Community of Practice with
Ukrainian and U.S. secondary and post-secondary teachers as they engage in online webinars
and workshops. The announcement with details on eligibility, time commitment, dates and

In the event that any of you pursue this opportunity, we would be very interested in hearing about your experience!

NEW VIRTUAL PROJECT!

Exploring & Enacting Holistic Language Pedagogies Project – A Co-learning
Journey for Ukrainian and U.S. Educators.

The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv and Childhood Education International are excited to
announce a new virtual project for English language teachers in Ukraine and the
U.S.

Through the Exploring & Enacting Holistic Language Pedagogies project,
Ukrainian and U.S. secondary and post-secondary level teachers will form a
Community of Practice where they have opportunities to learn and share
innovative and holistic teaching approaches, as well as create connections with
each other.

Through biweekly webinars and workshops in the spring semester and an intensive
virtual exchange in the summer, the Community of Practice will cultivate
connections, deepen English language teaching competencies, and support
implementation of student-centered, holistic, and inclusive pedagogies.

Areas of focus will include:

  • Social-emotional learning
  • Psychosocial support
  • Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
  • Project- and play-based learning
  • Asset-based pedagogies
