Author: Shannon Mann

Burdened by the reality that academic resources and expertise often remain out of reach for many volunteer ESL programs, ministries and individual tutors, Shannon Mann started TESOL Ministry in 2022 with the aim of bridging this gap by fostering partnerships to provide high-quality resources and training for community based ESL programs. Under her leadership, TESOL Ministry works with a variety of partners to enhance these vital ESL/EFL programs, improving communication and cultivating stronger, more vibrant communities. With an unwavering commitment to innovative teaching strategies and a passion for engaging diverse learners, Shannon works to empower and equip volunteer educators around the world with online resources, workshops, and collaborative projects. In addition to leading TESOL Ministry, she is currently serving as the Facilitator for CELEA’s Community-based ESL Group. She teaches ESL at Durham Technical Community College and in the TESL Certificate Program at Judson College and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
