Mission Statement

ETAS' mission is to promote professional development among English language teachers in Switzerland and together take on the challenges of future education today.

To this end, ETAS offers members a variety of opportunities and channels to network, collaborate and share ideas, and to be informed of the most up-to-date methods and materials.

ETAS' focus and aims are to recognise and adapt to the ever-changing demands which English language educators face on a daily basis. Our goal is to provide not just more avenues for teachers to interact, share, and learn from each other, but also to make available up-to-date resources that will benefit members as well as attract more teachers to join our Association. This has been the core Raison d' Être of ETAS since its inception in 1983, as outlined in the Statutes (2017), page 1, and has been the driving force behind everything we have done thus far including, though certainly not limited to, the ETAS Website Reboot Project (2015).
