Did You Get Your TEC?


Did you receive your hard copy of the winter issue of The English Connection (TEC)? In addition to being available online, the magazine was mailed out in mid-December. 

If you have not received this issue of TEC, you might have (a) opted out of receiving a hard copy, (b) moved but did not update your mailing address in the proper place ("Postal Mailing Address" under the "Edit" tab) in your KOTESOL online profile, (c) have an incorrectly formatted address on file, or (d) still have your old-style Korean address and/or postal code on file. KOTESOL is now sending out TEC only to recipients with properly formatted addresses using the new street/road-name system and the new 5-digit postal code for Korean addresses. Be sure your mailing address is up to date.
