English Language Teachers’ Association Ulm/ Neu-Ulm e.V.
About ELTAU
ELTAU e.V. has been running since 2003 and has around 40 individual and institutional members. It brings together teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) from the local area and further afield. We belong to a German-wide network of English Language teacher’s associations which means we have access to a wide range of development and networking resources.
Our members are drawn from a variety of nationalities and come from all teaching sectors. Our goal is to provide a forum for sharing experience and developing professional expertise. During the year we run seminars, talks, workshops and informal “idea exchange” sessions on a wide range of subjects relating to EFL. The emphasis is on practical teaching and training ideas as well as professional skills.
Our expert speakers and facilitators come from the local area and other parts of Germany, as well as from abroad. During the pandemic we have embraced online teaching and learning and provided a series of training workshops to make sure our members were equipped to move rapidly and confidently into an online teaching environment. If anything, our high-quality programme and learning opportunities have increased as we continue to partner and collaborate with our sister organisations around the country.
