Our aim is to provide valuable insights and empower English teachers across the country.
We are proud to announce that our association is the first and only official associate of the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL) in Kazakhstan.
This recognition from IATEFL highlights our commitment to promoting excellence in English language teaching and professional development.

As a testament to our dedication, our association had the privilege of participating in the Associates' Day at the prestigious IATEFL Harrogate Conference in the United Kingdom in 2023.
