- Abstract
- Many associations constantly struggle with trying to increase the size of their membership base, either by recruiting more members
or by retaining a larger percentage of existing members. This paper examined the existence and experiences of teachers in
Language Teaching Organizations (LTOs), like Korea TESOL (KOTESOL), and the role these organizations play in reinforcing
the job satisfaction experienced by the teachers. A review of the available data enabled the author to analyze and highlight the
probable connections between KOTESOL membership and their job satisfaction. Results showed that members were satisfied with
KOTESOL’s role as a tool for professional development and personal growth, but were not happy with the ways that
information was shared as well as with the leadership. This data provides insight for KOTESOL and other EFL associations on
how to better recruit and retain membership.
