What are the benefits of joining IATEFL Poland?
Our Association offers you an opportunity to network with other members. You receive an excellent e-newsletter and can also join smaller groups of colleagues within so-called Regions and SIGs (Special Interest Groups), which offer a variety of activities related to your hobbies or professional interests. You are also very welcome to join our most important event – the international conference, which takes place every September.
Who is a member of IATEFL Poland?
If you attend our conference you become our member automatically (annual fee is included in the ticket price). You are a member if you paid our annual fee. You don’t have to attend the conference to become a member.
Can I take part in an event without becoming a member?
Yes, you may join an event as a guest by paying a small fee.
Can I join IATEFL Poland if I am not a teacher?
Definitely yes! It is not true that you have to be an established teacher to join IATEFL Poland. An excellent time to join a professional organization is during your studies or college years.
Is IATEFL Poland only for university teachers?
Definitely not! We have a very broad membership, which includes primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, private school teachers, publishers, and many others.
Can IATEFL Poland find a job for me?
No, but it is certainly one of the best places to find one by talking to other members and through networking within the association.
Can I be a volunteer for IATEFL Poland?
Definitely yes! You can help event organizers or contribute your own ideas for organizing events. You can also work as a monitor during events, including our international conference.
Can I make a presentation at the annual conference?
Yes, you can submit your application via online registration on our website in advance of the annual conference. If you complete the application by the deadline, it will be reviewed by a committee, which decides which proposals are accepted.
Can I stand for the Board at the next election?
Definitely yes, provided you have been a fully paid-up member for one year or more. It is a good idea to gain experience as a volunteer before doing this.
Can I be a presenter at weekly webinar series?
Yes, you can submit your application via mail to webinars@iatefl.org.pl provided you have been a fully paid-up member for one year or more. If you complete the application, it will be reviewed by our Coordinator, who accepts the proposal and sets the date.
How can I get the certificate from the webinar that I attended?
That’s a good question. Certificates are disposed during the webinar in the chat box. It’s a PDF file with an editable name and surname box. If you didn’t download the certificate then, please write to webinars@iatefl.org.pl
