APPENDIX C
Chapter notes and further reading
Two of the ways that teachers can stay in touch with what is happening in the world of English
language teaching are through teachers’ associations (which hold local and national conferences
and which publish magazines and newsletters), and via subscriptions to journals. The Internet is
also a major source of information, articles and activities (see Appendix B on page 259).
Most countries have their own teachers’ associations (e.g. JALT in Japan, SPELT in Pakistan). The
best way to find them is to conduct an Internet search.
In Britain, the main teachers’ association is IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of
English as a Foreign Language) which can be found at www.iatefl.org. In the United States, TESOL
(Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) can be found at www.tesol.org. Both
organisations have affiliates in many other countries (e.g. TESOL Greece, IATEFL Chile).
