1. What is TESL-L and What Can We Do with It?
2. How Do You Subscribe to TESL-L?
TESL-L is probably the largest and most active computer mailing list for teachers of English to speakers of other languages. (As of October 1997, there are almost 20,000 subscribers in 115 countries. An average of 17 messages per day are sent to the mailing list, although this can vary a great deal.) It emphasizes issues related to classroom teaching.*1 We strongly encourage everyone who has an interest in teaching English to speakers of other languages to subscribe to it. Subscription to TESL-L is free.
TESL-L has eight branches, and after you subscribe to TESL-L, you can subscribe to whichever branches you are interested in. Subscribing to branches is also free. TESLCA-L is a particularly useful branch, because it has a lot of information related to computers, software, on-line resources, and world wide web sites. If you are looking for a teaching job, TESLJB-L is a good branch to subscribe to.
TESL-L has a huge archive, and you can download previous discussions on TESL-L and many useful materials. You can also post papers you have written to the archive, so that many people can use them.
2. How Do You Subscribe to TESL-L?
In order to subscribe to TESL-L, you need to remember at least the following four commands. If you can use them, you should not have any problems with TESL-L. Remember that you must send all commands to the listserv address (listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu or LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU), not to the list's address (tesl-l@cunyvm.cuny.edu or TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU). You can use small characters or large characters for addresses for not only TESL-L but also other mailing lists.
A. Subscribing to TESL-L
Subscribing to TESL-L is very easy. You write the following message in the message area and send it to
listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu
subscribe tesl-l your firstname lastname
set tesl-l digest
For example:
subscribe tesl-l Kenji Kitao
set tesl-l digest
We strongly suggest that you set TESL-L to digest, because 10-20 e-mail messages are posted to the list every day. If you set the list to digest, all e-mail comes in one file a day with a table of contents, that is, you receive only one file, and it is very easy to handle.
TESL-L will accept your subscription automatically without a confirmation, which some lists require. That is, once you send the above message, you are subscribed to TESL-L and will receive all the messages that are submitted to the list. Thus, you can set it on the digest mode at the same time you subscribe to it.
Remember, whatever commands you send about your subscription is to the listserv address, that is, listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu, and not to the list, tesl-l@cunyvm.cuny.edu. Many people forget this and send commands to the list instead of the listserv.
Shortly after you send the subscription message, you will receive a welcome message and begin receiving any mail that is sent to that list.*2 If you indicated that you want a digest, you will receive only one file a day with all the posts for that day. If you do not set the list to digest, you will receive individual messages separately as ordinary e-mail.
B. To stop your subscription to TESL-L permanently
If you do not want to subscribe to TESL-L any more, all you have to do is write the following message in the message area and send it to listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu. You do not write anything in the subject line.
unsubscribe tesl-l
When you unsubscribe, you do not type your name.
If you unsubscribe from TESL-L, you will unsubscribe from all branches of TESL-L at the same time, and you will lose the right to download files from the TESL-L archives and to post messages to TESL-L or any branches and to upload any document to the archive.
C. To stop receiving mail temporarily
If you are going to be out of town or will not be checking your e-mail for some other reason, it is a good idea to stop your mail temporarily. Also, if you do not want to read the main TESL-L list but are still interested in receiving mail from the branches or downloading files from the archive, you can stop the mail. You write the following message in the message area and send it to listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu.
set tesl-l nomail
You will not receive any messages from the list, but you can still receive messages from and send them to the branches and use the archives.
D. To restart receiving mail
If you want to start receiving messages again, you send the following message to the listserv, if you are receiving individual messages.
Set tesl-l mail
If you are receiving the digest, you send the following message.
Set tesl-l digest
3. How to Subscribe to TESL-L Branches
TESL-L has eight branches, and you can subscribe to any or all of them. The following are the branches and the number of members as of October 24, 1997 (19,922 for TESL-L). You can subscribe to TESLK-12 without subscribing to TESL-L.
To subscribe to TESLCA-L, for example, just send the following message to the listserv address, listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu, just as you do to subscribe to TESL-L. Do not write anything on the subject line.
4. What Can We Get from the TESL-L Archive?
A. To get the index
In order to use the TESL-L archive, you download the index (list of all files included in the archive). You send the following message to:
listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu
B. To download previous discussions
The TESL-L archive has all previous discussions. If you know when a topic you are interested in was discussed, you can download all the files of that week or in that month and check them.
You send the following message to:
listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu
For example, TESL-L LOG9602B refers to the year 96, month #2 (February) and the second week (B), Feb. 7 - 13. TESL-L messages have been archived weekly since January, 1993.
If you are interested in a particular thing and want to search for it in a past discussion, follow these directions from DATABASE SEARCH. It is a two step process: search for information, and download that information. (See details in DATABASE SEARCH.)
a. TO SEARCH FOR THE LOCATION OF SPECIFIC ITEMS BY KEY WORD(S)
In this example, the focus of the search is "Cambridge ELT Exam"; obviously, you will replace these words with your own key words.
As the body of your mail to LISTSERV, type or copy this:
You may have to wait for a while for the search to be completed; then you will receive the output as mail.
When you look at the output of your search, you will see a series of six digits on the left side. You can disregard the leading zeros, but make a note of the other digits, for those are the message numbers, the keys to the information that you are looking for. Here is what you will see:
> Search 'Kenji Kitao' in TESL-L --> Database TESL-L, 16 hits. > Index Item # Date Time Recs Subject ------ ---- ---- ---- ------- 021171 95/12/07 10:46 44 new archived files 021279 95/12/14 15:34 34 article, computers/EFL instruction 021524 96/01/15 22:01 39 archived file on newspapers 021634 96/01/22 15:41 40 archives, teacher resources 021932 96/02/12 02:30 27 New CAI bib 022708 96/04/06 13:55 51 new holiday files 022979 96/04/28 10:15 27 archived filename errors 023126 96/05/09 10:27 45 archives - testing 023789 96/07/13 11:58 28 "Teaching English in Japan" on WWW 023794 96/07/14 11:33 56 New archived files 023810 96/07/16 00:12 53 Archived testing files 023919 96/07/26 12:58 40 new archived files 024325 96/09/07 15:10 36 New archived files 024856 96/10/14 12:39 17 lessons for the downloading 027479 97/05/09 07:28 66 summer programs 029293 97/10/15 20:31 36 archived listening files(If you want to search one of the branch mailing lists, you can put the name of that mailing list instead of "TESL-L" in the search statement. For example, if you want to search TESLCA-L, you put "TESLCA-L" in place of "TESL-L.")
b. TO RETRIEVE THE TEXT THAT YOU WANT:
Again, send mail to LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU or LISTSERV@CUNYVM.BITNET
As the text of your mail, type or copy this:
C. To download TESL-L archive documents
There are also a large number of documents available in its archive. You can get the index of the archive. You will receive a huge list of their documents.
Send e-mail to:
listserv@cunyvm.cuny.edu
TESL-L files in the archive are grouped in the following categories.
All files have the date which they were posted. You need to download the index occasionally, so that you can check the date when each file is posted to see if there are new files since you last checked. Also, all new files posted in the archive are announced in TESL-L. You need to pay attention to those announcements. All files have a brief descriptions, and you can have an idea what they are.
For example, the following file was posted on January 19, 1995.
40 TIPS TEM OWN V 73 455 95/01/19 11:33:19
* From the newsletter Hands-On English, here are 40 tips to make your
* teaching easier and more effective.
You can also download the TESOL file.
Send e-mail to:
TESOL FILELIST TEM TSL V 80 179 96/02/06 11:28:31
* Files provided by TESOL files: forms, publications, placement service, etc.
* Order this file to see the complete list in this subdirectory.
You can also download the application form of IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language), which is the second largest professional organization in the world.
When you download files, you write in the message part,
index tesol
(all TESOL information)
get call filelist tesl-l f=mail
(files related to CALL)
get iatefl form tesl-l f=mail
(application form of IATEFL)
get books filelist tesl-l f=mail
(files related to books)
get subs file tesl-l f=mail
(files related to journals and
newsletters)
get 40 tips tesl-l f=mail
(40 tips to make teaching more
effective)
get newspapr teaching tesl-l f=mail
(effective ways to use
newspapers)
The archive includes thirteen files which list files in the subdirectory. You cannot see those files with the "index tesl-l" command. We suggest that you download those 13 files, too, if you are interested in those areas. Then you will see all files. You can send commands with index tesl-l as follows.
For any list you subscribe to, it is important that you participate in discussion actively, that is, you send your questions, opinions, information you have, etc. If you are just reading messages other people send, you may not get what you want. We encourage you to send questions, opinions, information you have, etc., to TESL-L. This will benefit not only you but also other subscribers.
A. How to send contributions
You can send all your contributions to the list at:
tesl-l@cunyvm.cuny.eduAs we have explained, TESL-L has about 20,000 subscribers, and there are very strict rules to post your message to TESL-L. You need to read "15. Posting Guidelines to TESL-L" in the TESL-L welcome message (See appendix). TESL-L is a moderated list, which means that if you do not follow the rules, your message will not be posted.
What is important for contributions is that they be of interest to many people. Messages related to the topics of the branches will not be posted on TESL-L and should be sent directly to the appropriate branch. The subject line is the title of the message, and it should accurately reflect the topic of the message. The message should be short and well organized. The important information should be at the beginning of your message. Many people on the lists receive hundreds of messages a day, and they do not like to spend time reading a message that may not turn out to be of interest to them. Be sure to read the guidelines and some messages posted to TESL-L before you start sending messages. Your contributions are welcome, but they should follow the guidelines.
B. How to send contributions to the branches
If your contributions are of interest to subscribers of one branch of TESL-L, you should send them to that branch and not to the main TESL-L list. For example, if you want to say anything about teaching with computers, you send the message to teslca-l at:
teslca-l@cunyvm.cuny.eduYou should follow the guidelines for constructing your message. Branches are not moderated, that is, your message goes to all subscribers automatically without anyone checking it, so you need to be careful. Do not send any personal messages to any branch. It is important to put a good subject line to reflect the content of your message. When you respond to someone, you need to think that your response might be of interest to many people. If not, you should write to that person personally, at their own e-mail address, instead of to the list.
6. How to Post your Documents to the TESL-L Archive
Posting your papers to the archive
If you are interested in posting one of your papers in the TESL-L archives, send your paper to:
stscc@cunyvm.cuny.edu .
Lines should have shorter than 78 characters.
Appropriate submissions for the archive include academic papers, reports, how-to articles, bibliographies, teaching materials, lists of useful information, etc. You can get an idea of what type of material is appropriate for the archive by downloading some files. If you post your papers to TESL-L, some institutions may consider them as publications. If you are looking for an academic position in a university, publications are very, very important.
If you encounter any problems with TESL-L, all you have to do is to send a message which explains the problem clearly to:
Teslhelp@cunyvm.cuny.eduAs we have explained, TESL-L is a very useful resource for all teachers and students interested in teaching English to speakers of other languages as a profession. The more you use it, the more useful it will be for you. After you get used to getting valuable information from it, we hope that you will contribute your knowledge and information to it and make it more useful and valuable for more people.

2. ABOUT TESL-L:
TESL-L was founded in May, 1991, with the goal of providing
educators with a fast, convenient, and topical electronic discussion
forum that focuses on issues related to TESL/TEFL.
TESL-L is an independent entity and not part of any professional group or organization. We maintain cordial relationships with all professional organizations in the field of English language education, including TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) and IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language), but we are not allied with any of them.
TESL-L was fortunate to receive a three-year grant from the United States Department of Education, Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE) for the initial development, improvement, and expansion of the services TESL-L offers. Today, TESL-L is supported as a joint project by the United States Information Agency and the City University of New York.
4. BRANCHES:
As this electronic forum has grown larger, some members who would
like to "discuss" items of specialized interest within the profession have
felt reticent to post messages to the whole membership when the item
might be of interest to only a few netters. Consequently, we have
started some special-interest "branches" or sub-lists of TESL-L. All
members of TESL-L are eligible to join any or all of the special interest
branches (which are listed below). A member of TESL-L can also elect
to suspend mail on TESL-L and some branches and still continue to
receive mail from other branches. For instructions on how to suspend
mail, ("NOMAIL") see section 12.C.g below.
To join a branch, you MUST ALREADY BE A MEMBER OF TESL-
L. You can sign on automatically, by sending a "sub" message to
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU, (see section 12.C.a, below)

6. THE TESLK-12 NET:
Most of the postings on TESL-L are of general interest to those in the
profession of teaching English as a second or foreign language; but the
majority of the members of TESL-L are teachers in institutions of
higher learning. This is not because those teachers are more interested
in what happens in their profession than K-12 teachers are; it is really
because universities and colleges have longer experience and greater
access in electronic communications. Nevertheless, TESL-L is
definitely dominated by issues that reflect the interests of teachers in
universities and colleges. As a result, we started TESLK-12 in January
1994. The goal of the new net, the "sister" net to TESL-L, is to foment
discussion and electronic sharing among teachers of English to
children. In many cases, the questions that confront these teachers are
different from issues that appear on TESL-L.
To join TESLK-12, and to find out more about it, send a message to
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
sub TESLK-12 first-name last-name
Even if you are not a K-12 teacher, please tell your colleagues in that field that there is a net just for them. Encourage them to join.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
7. TESLHELP: online help for you
Unlike most electronic lists, TESL-L has a Help Line, TESLHELP,
manned by a group of veteran TESL-Lers, led by Tom Robb of Kyoto
Sangyo University. TESLHELP offers online help for problems that
arise when using TESL-L, LISTSERV, or the TESL-L branches.
To get help from TESLHELP, send mail to:
TESLHELP@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
You will need to provide the following:
A: A clear description of your problem
B: Copies of any error messages or mail that you have received
from LISTSERV.
All help offered by TESLHELP is based on the personal knowledge of the TESLHELPer and should not be construed as coming from the University Computing Center at the City University of New York.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
9. THE TESL-L ARCHIVES:
TESL-L has two types of files in the database: "logs", which are
collections of previous postings on the net (logged weekly) and files.
The latter consist of articles, surveys, lesson plans, course descript-
ions, conference listings and so forth, contributed by TESL-L members.
To find out what is in the database, send the following command to LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
INDEX TESL-L f=mail
We are continuing to build the database to make it the best possible resource for TESL-L members. If you would like to contribute items to the collection, please contact Susan Simon (STSCC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU), who is in charge of it. (See also Section 14 on copyright issues)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
11. SENDING MESSAGES TO THE TESL-L GROUP:
When you want to "post" a message to your TESL-L colleagues
around the world, whether as a reply to something you have read on
TESL-L or to introduce a topic for discussion, you send your message
in the usual email way, addressed to:
or TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
(Use whichever works for you; if you get an "unauthorized to post" message, try the other address)
The message will be sent to the TESL-L editors, who will check that it fits within the TESL-L guidelines before forwarding it to TESL-L. If the editors question the appropriateness of your posting to TESL-L, it will be returned, unposted, with a note.
If you want to reply only to an individual whose message you read on TESL-L and not to the whole TESL-L group, you can use the "reply" option on your system since TESL-L is set to send replies to individuals rather than to the whole group.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
12. LISTSERV COMMANDS:
YOU NEED LISTSERV TO:
a. To join TESL-L and/or its branches:
Send the following command as mail to
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
SUBscribe TESL-L yourfirstname yourlastname
For example: SUB TESL-L Bill Clinton
To join a branch, substitute the name of the branch for TESL-L. You
can join TESL-L and one or more branches in one single message to
LISTSERV;
you just put each command on a separate line.
For example:
SUB TESL-L yourfirstname yourlastname
SUB TESLxx-L yourfirstname yourlastname
(where xx=the branch letters)
b. To get a copy of the TESL-L membership list:
Send this command as mail to
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
REView TESL-L f=mail
This will get you a complete (and VERY long) list of all TESL-L
members, listed alphabetically by node. To get an alphabetical list of
names, the command is
REView TESL-L by name f=mail
c. To get the name/address of a particular TESL-L member:
The SCAN feature allows you to enter a few letters of the individual's
first name, last name, or even a piece of the e-mail address, if you know
it.
For example, sending the following line
SCAN TESL-L CARL
will not only find anyone named CARL or CARLA but also anyone with an address ending in CARLETON.CA (Carleton University)
If you aren't sure whether the person has subscribed as Charles, or Charlie, or Chuck, just send three separate SCAN queries in the same message, one on each line:
SCAN TESL-L CHARLES
SCAN TESL-L CHARLIE
SCAN TESL-L CHUCK
As usual, your queries should be sent to:
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
d. To get a list of available TESL-L files and past postings:
Send this command as mail to
LISTSERV@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
INDEX TESL-L
e. To get a particular file:
GET
(You get the filename and filetype from the list you receive after
sending the command in section c above.
f. To get a log of past postings on TESL-L:
GET TESL-L LOGyymmw F=mail
Where yy = year, mm = month, w = week (designated by A,B,C,D,E)
(For example, TESL-L LOG9302B refers to the year 93, month #2
(which is, of course, February) and the second week (B), Feb. 8 - 14.
TESL-L messages have been archived weekly since January, 1993.
Messages prior to January of 1993 were archived monthly and
therefore the A/B/C/D/E suffix on the log name is not used.
In all other respects, the rest of the log name for logs created
prior to January 1993 is the same as the description given above.
g. To set yourself to receive no TESL-L mail temporarily:
SET TESL-L NOMAIL
If you belong to any TESL-L branches and are going to be away,
SET * NOMAIL
h. To arrange to receive TESL-L mail again:
SET TESL-L MAIL
To begin to receive mail again on both TESL-L and branches, send
this:
SET * MAIL
i. To arrange to receive TESL-L mail in a daily bundle (DIGEST):
SET TESL-L DIGEST
To reverse this, send the following command to LISTSERV:
SET TESL-L MAIL
j. To arrange to receive just a daily index (record) of TESL-L mail:
SET TESL-L INDEX
To reverse this, send the following message to LISTSERV:
SET TESL-L MAIL
k. To leave TESL-L permanently:
UNSUB TESL-L
When you leave TESL-L, you are no longer eligible to belong to any of
the branches; you will therefore be automatically removed from the
branches when you sign off TESL-L with this command.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
15. POSTING GUIDELINES FOR TESL-L
A. FORMAT - all submissions for posting to TESL-L must
