Why you need the National Association for Teaching English and Community Languages to Adults (NATECLA)
If you're a teacher of ESOL or community language or a volunteer or community worker using English with multi-lingual groups,
you need NATECLA. We are a professional independent association through which you can express your views, share your experience and influence the development of teaching practice. You can gain new perceptions, get new ideas and improve your skills.
NATECLA needs people who want to contribute and be heard. NATECLA is already an effective and influential campaigning organisation, but of course, the more people who are part of NATECLA, the more potential influence the organisation has. To increase the organisation's influence NATECLA needs members that represent all the facets of teaching English and Community languages. Typically members are teachers, trainers or lecturers, teacher-trainers, trainee teachers, researchers, managers or organisers and ex-teachers working in related professions.
Training to teach ESOL? To introduce NATECLA to those entering the profession, we are offering a free year’s membership for those studying on a recognised teacher-training course
