International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL)

 

​With members in 100+ countries, IATEFL is the world's most international organization for professionals in the field of ELT. In three editorial roles with IATEFL, I edited papers by some of the best-known names in ELT, and I helped hundreds of first-time writers to see their words in print.

​

  • Voices (editor, 2018-2023). Voices is distributed in print and digital format to around 10,000 IATEFL members and associates around the world. In this role I sourced and edited articles on all aspects of English language teaching and learning. I worked closely with IATEFL Head Office and editorial/design team. 

​

  • Conference Selections (editor, 2010-2020). ​Conference Selections is the proceedings of the annual IATEFL Conference held every spring in the UK. It is a refereed publication of 240 pages. I selected papers to be published, organized papers into thematic chapters, edited the manuscript, and proofread the final document. In my ten years as editor of Conference Selections, I edited over 1,000 short reports of talks and workshops.​

​

  • MaWSIG (editor, 2016-2018). ​MaWSIG is the IATEFL Materials Writing Special Interest Group. I am a past MaWSIG Committee member, and for two years I edited posts for the MaWSIG blog.

​​

Thank you Tania for dedicating 10 good years to editing one of the best resources for ELT professionals worldwide. You've simply been, and still are, the best editor I've ever worked with.

Dr. Harry Kuchah Kuchah,

Past President, IATEFL
