The TESOL Technology Standards are designed to provide guidance for learners, teachers, teacher educators, and administrators who use technology as a component of English language learning and teaching. The Standards incorporate two complementary sets of standards. The Standards for Language Learners focus on what learners need to know in order to use technology productively, safely, appropriately, legally, and with a critical eye. The Standards for Language Teachers address how teachers can help learners achieve the Learner Standards, be personally productive and creative with technology, and continue to develop expertise in teaching with technology. The Teacher Standards recognize a general and an “expert” level. All teachers are expected to meet the standards at the general level. The expert level describes those who have additional skills, and who should be given the appropriate recognition for sharing those skills with others. Checklists for self‐assessment, program assessment, and online teaching are part of
