Indiana Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages

Indiana Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (INTESOL) is a professional association for teachers of English as a second language in the U.S. state of Indiana. It operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a mailing address at 1300 E. 86th Street, STE 36A, P.O. Box # 40102, Indianapolis, IN 46240. The association is governed by a board and maintains a membership base of educators, researchers, and advocates working with multilingual learners of English. INTESOL's activities center on professional development, advocacy, and publications. It publishes the INTESOL Journal and white papers, and it hosts an annual conference; the 2026 conference is promoted on its website with featured speakers, a pre-conference, registration and payment, proposal submission, and volunteer and sponsorship opportunities. The organization also runs an art contest and maintains a news feed and events calendar. As an advocacy body, INTESOL engages with state and federal policy affecting English learners. Its website highlights a white paper titled "Financial Earmarking: Money Follows the Child," authored by Trish Morita-Mullaney and Michelle C.S. Greene, responding to Indiana's proposed request for a waiver to Title III funding guidelines. INTESOL warns that waiving those guidelines could have a detrimental impact on TESOL in Indiana and points members to a public commentary period open until August 25, 2025. The association's online presence is powered by Wild Apricot membership software, supporting member login, registration, and communications. INTESOL serves as the Indiana affiliate within the broader TESOL professional community, connecting local educators to national and international networks for English language teaching.
