Chapter 7: eService-Learning for Transformational Change

This chapter describes a long-term, international eService-learning project in which graduate students, enrolled in master’s in Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) programs in the United States, were paired with adult learners of English in Afghanistan for online tutoring sessions. Graduate student reflections, composed over the course of the project, offer consistent evidence of the potential of long-term international eService-learning to bring about transformational change. These data include examples of broader understandings of others, recognition of global structural inequities, and a greater awareness of self-including insights into fears, assumptions, and privileges.
