IATEFL & ASSOCIATE Sigs

IATEFL & ASSOCIATE SIGs April 2007

“SIGs bring like-minded people together, offering opportunities for communication and networking”

Let’s communicate! Let’s network! Let’s work together!

The following information was collated at the 2005 and 2006 IATEFL Associate Day meetings and confirmed at the Aberdeen 2007 Associate Day meet. After discussion around how IATEFL SIGs could collaborate more with Associate SIGs, it became evident that a list of which SIGs existed in each Associate would be useful.

Sandie Mourão, IATEFL SIG Representative, agreed to collate the information. The list is centered around the 14 IATEFL SIGs, although it is acknowledged that other SIGs exist in many Associate TAs, and information about these could also be included here.

The SIG websites are shown where possible – if any information is incorrect or new information needs adding, please feel free to change / add. This list will hopefully change and grow with time.
