TESOL Standards vs. TESOL Technology Standards

It is sometimes confusing to distinguish between TESOL standards and TESOL Technology Standards. Below, I typed up a short description using both books that hopefully will hope clarify between the two.

TESOL Technology Standards: The TESOL technology standards provide standards that are based on technology integration. These standards help provide a better understanding and how they can be applied in different contexts. The TESOL technology standards are very helpful because it provides assistance with available technology. This can include little technology or a greater amount. The resources provide technology alternatives since technology plays an important role in ELL academic success. There are three goals TESOL provides. 1. Language learners demonstrate foundational knowledge and skills in technology for a multilingual world. 2. Language learners use technology in socially and culturally appropriate, legal, and ethical ways. 3. Language learners effectively use and critically evaluate technology- based tools as aids in the development of their language learning competence as part of formal instruction and for further learning. 

TESOL Proficiency Standards: The TESOL Standards consist of five different standards for ELL students. The first standard is based on a need for social, intercultural, and instructional purposes. The other standards focus on academic areas that include math, science, language arts, and social students. . TESOL standards are joined with lesson plans to make sure all parts of the lesson reach certain objectives. TESOL has a focus on language proficiency in schools. These standards reflect academic language proficiency that is connected to content standards for ELL students based on English proficiency.
