MANATESOL

Welcome to MANATESOL: The Manawatu Association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages.

MANATESOL is actively involved in promoting second language teaching in the Manawatu. We do this through organising regular workshops and seminars featuring some of New Zealand's premier second language educators.

PALMERSTON NORTH, the home city of MANATESOL, has a large non-native English speaking population and a number of centres for second language teaching, linguistics and TESL, including Massey University, Universal College Of Learning, Queen Elizabeth College and International Pacific College. In addition the Home Tutor Program and Open Learning Centre have a significant presence in the local TESL environment
