How to Join TESL-L

Note: If you try these instructions and they don't work, please try them again, making sure that the formatting is exactly like that in the examples. If you get into a real muddle and need help, you can write to the TESL-L help line: TESLHELP@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

Include a copy of the error message that you received. It is important to remember that TESLHELP is manned by a volunteer. We expect you to make every effort to try to solve your own problems before turning to the Help line.

JOINING ON THE WEB

Go to http://listserv.cuny.edu and follow the instructions that you find there. You will first have to follow the instructions for creating a password for yourself on the LISTSERV server. After that, you can join TESL-L and any of its branches that you are interested in.

You can also read your TESL-L mail and manage your subscription at the web address above.

JOINING BY EMAIL

Messages must be sent to the Listserv (the "computer robot" program that handles administrative matters) at:

LISTSERV@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU

You can send multiple commands in a single message, one per line.

SUB TESL-L firstname lastname

Example: SUB TESL-L Bill Clinton
