The Online MA TESOL Portfolio

of Jeff Mattison

 

This is a digital version of the exit mechanism for my MA TESOL degree received from the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in Monterey, California on August 26, 2005. Details about the MA TESOL portfolio at MIIS can be found by downloading this guide. Also, a recent article in the TESOL Quarterly by Professors Peter Shaw and Brian Lynch provides an analysis of the MIIS MA TESOL portfolio as an alternative assessment device.

 

My portfolio is divided into four sections. Please click on any one of the titles to view it in .pdf format. You may need the latest edition of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available here. If you have any questions about what you see or have any difficulty viewing the files, please email me and I will be glad to help you.
