21st Century ELT Review's guide to English language teaching, testing and study organizations.
THE English Association is the oldest established association in the UK for all those interested in English at all levels, from primary to higher education. The association was founded in 1906 and has been based at the University of Leicester since December 1993. Today, it is an international organization with branches, fellows and members in Britain and throughout the world.
Its aim is to further knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the English language and literatures and to foster good practice in teaching and learning at all levels.
It does this by encouraging the study of English language and literature; by means of conferences, lectures and publications; and by fostering the discussion of methods of teaching English of all kinds.
