Background information
Thai TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) was founded in 1979. It is a professional, non-profit, and non-political organization. Its goal is to strengthen instruction and research, at all levels, in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages within Thailand. Thai TESOL has an annual convention in January each year. So far, it has had more than 1,300 members.
The Pan-Asian Consortium (PAC) 2007 will be hosted by Thailand TESOL in Bangkok where, 10 years earlier, PAC was inaugurated. Since 1997, the consortium has continued to grow, and it is on the verge of becoming an even more significant group of ELT organizations with the addition of more new partners.
