How can you be more involved in your own community of teachers of English?

The answer is to join an already existing regional association or create a new one. So that you are supported in your profession, NZATE encourages the development of regionally based associations for the teaching of English.

The list of contact associations and contact people listed below is always changing. We would appreciate information to ensure that this list is kept up-to-date. Please contact us with any details we need to update. Please click on the Association nearest to you for further information and contact details
