Is TESOL Islamia only for Muslim teachers and learners of English?
Absolutely not! TESOL Islamia is primarily concerned with resolving areas of conflict between Islam and mainstream TESOL activity and exploring approaches, paradigms or strategies that can best serve the interests of Muslim ESL learners. At the same time, TESOL Islamia acknowledges a lot of common ground in mainstream TESOL theory and practice and encourages all TESOL professionals (Muslims and non-Muslims) to better understand the interplay between Islam and mainstream TESOL practice with a view to enhancing the teaching of English in the Muslim World and the mutual understanding of each other. Two very eminent applied linguists (Alastair Pennycook and James Tollefson) have already produced some insightful accounts on the relation between Islam and TESOL. Their contribution to the field is much appreciated. Visitors to this site are also encouraged to read the testimonials in the testimonial section that have been mostly submitted by non-Muslims.
