This paper aims to provide some initial ideas on how LAMS might be utilised in TESOL . Even though this research area requires significant development, it is held that there is growing potential and justification to use LAMS in TESOL. To this end an attempt will be made to illustrate how LAMS, with its increasing number of authoring tools (http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/Home), could be used (or might be developed to be used) to create sequences that addressed language learning skills in the following six key interrelated areas: vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening speaking and writing. It is maintained that a pre-while-post sequence could be one way of providing a foundation structure learning-design template on which teachers might draw on their experience to build sequences for the practice of these language skills. Although the creation of a more specialised TESOL authoring tool would assist in the construction of non-Internet dependent and LAMS-gradable sequences, it is held that TESOL sequences can still be authored with many of the existing tools.

W kontekście języka angielskiego jako języka globalnego, dostęp do jego nauczania i uczenia się stał się ważną kwestią na rynku napędzającym komunikację całego świata. Moje badania, oparte na doświadczeniach nauczycieli języka angielskiego dla osób mówiących innymi językami (English to Speakers of Other Languages, ESOL), pokazują, jak poruszają się oni po kwestiach etycznych związanych ze zmieniającym się środowiskiem oraz nierównościami związanymi z globalnym rynkiem nauczania języka angielskiego. Interesuje mnie, jak nauczyciele negocjują rozbieżne pozycjonowanie języka angielskiego będącego, z jednej strony, środkiem osobistego i lokalnego upełnomocnienia, a z drugiej globalnej hegemonii krajów anglojęzycznych. Badanie opiera się na wywiadach biograficznych z nauczycielami języka angielskiego jako obcego i krytycznych refleksjach na temat ich praktyki.

In the context of English as a global language, access to teaching and learning it has become an important issue in the industry that powers communication around the world. My research, based on the experiences of ESOL teachers, explores how they navigate the ethics of the changing global landscape of English language teaching and the inequalities involved in the global English language teaching industry. I am interested in how teachers negotiate the divergent positioning of the English language as a means of personal and local empowerment and global hegemony. The study is based on biographical interviews with ESOL teachers and their critical reflections on their practice.

This article analyzes the current situation of English language teaching (more particularly TESOL) to adults with Special Educational Needs (hereinafter SEN) in Spain from a double perspective. On the one hand, a qualitative study on teaching experiences with adult students with some type of disability is presented. The conclusions of this study shed light on the difficulties detected and the strategies implemented for teaching English. On the other hand, the resources most commonly used in the field of virtual teaching to increase and improve the skills of these students are reviewed. Finally, the authors describe an on-going European project that implements a Virtual Learning Environment (hereinafter VLE) where the principles of Universal Design are incorporated to facilitate the formative access to learning English as a second language to adult students with SEN.
