Welcome to IATEFL
With over 4,000 members IATEFL is one of the most thriving communities of ELT teachers in the world.

Regular publications, including six copies of our magazine IATEFL Voices and a free conference selections publication.
The Annual International Conference with an extensive programme of talks and workshops, which attracts over 2,000 delegates.
Fifteen Special Interest Groups to help teachers develop their own lines of interest.
Reduced rates on a number of selected professional journals.
Funding support through Scholarships so that deserving teachers can get involved in our Annual Conference, SIG events and online courses.
Links with Teachers' Associations in other countries for teachers to share knowledge and experience.
Assistance in helping new groups to establish their own a local Teachers' Association, including advice on how they can make the most of support and funding benefits.
IATEFL Slovenia is above all a community. Everybody brings into it and takes out whatever they feel appropriate and we are lucky enough that our members are dedicated to their profession and consider it their mission rather than just a job.
We offer a base for all those teachers who strive to become the best versions of themselves by offering independent, innovative and up-to-date seminars and conferences, regularly keeping our members informed through articles in our newsletters and sharing interesting and relevant information through our social networks on FB and Twitter.
In the world, where being informed is a MUST, can you afford to miss out on any of that?
Ideas Aspirations Training Enthusiasm Fun Love for teaching
Because we are social beings and we need to belong, because we want what is best for our learners and ourselves, because in the flood of information, good ideas are even more valuable, because we can choose to keep still or speak out loud, because we care to share, because we have not forgotten why we have become teachers in the first place.
This is why IATEFL Slovenia is the association of our choice.
