A message from the President  - Yuval Shomron

   Welcome to the ETAS website!

   If this is your first visit, welcome aboard. You’ll find oodles of information and   resources on the various pages.

  We recently held our 38th Annual Conference and AGM on-line. It was a   roaring success.

  Here are just a few of the many warm comments we received from   participants:

“The conference is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people, to be inspired and grow personally.”

“I always take away new ideas and new motivation.”

“A great place to network and meet interesting and dynamic teachers, who are willing to share their experience and expertise.”

“I love the learning and networking opportunities, and the steps ETAS takes to make everyone feel welcome.”

“I'm inspired, motivated, and loaded with tips and tasks to take back to the classroom. Looking forward to the next event!”

“It’s inspiring to see how much energy everyone has in the face of adversity.”

With my head on my pillow the evening before the last conference I asked myself, “What is it that I love about ETAS?”

In my seven years of membership, I’ve understood that it is not the organization as an entity that I appreciate so much, but the people in it. In the beginning, I would have defined “people” as a group of “English teachers.” But over time, my definition of “people” has changed to “friends, colleagues, volunteers, ambassadors, vendors, and presenters.”

We can always use more ambassadors, volunteers, and presenters. I am convinced that many of you have an idea or discovery that is worth sharing with the rest of us.

Think about helping out in some way or presenting a workshop.
