The Community College ESL Faculty Special Interest Group (SIG) is a group for faculty and staff in ESL/ESOL programs at Community Colleges in Massachusetts. The group meets several times during the school year, and communicates via a MATSOL E-List. Some issues the group has addressed include: Credentialing for ESL across the state; The relationships between Adult Basic Education, workforce ESL and academic ESL; Being proactive on the college campus; Over-reliance on adjunct faculty; Grants and their effects on our programs; Defining success for a community college student; Anti-immigrant backlash; Academic credit for ESL: Writing position papers on important issues. Visit the Community College ESL Faculty SIG page.

This will be a working group meeting to discuss and draft a policy statement about ESL credit transfer.

You DO NOT have to be a MATSOL member to join these meetings, but if you would like to support MATSOL in our mission to always promote equity and excellence for all English Learners, please consider joining us here.

This meeting will take place online via ZOOM Meeting. Please register to access the meeting link:
