Teacher associations (TAs) are communities located in complex cultural spaces
that may affect their functioning, vision, priorities, and policies. This case study
of the English Language Teachers’ Association of India (ELTAI) attempts to
examine the relationship between the Association and the cultural space it
inhabits, with specific reference to the national culture and traditions of charity
in India. It explores how the tradition and history of charity in India and the
characteristic features of the ‘national culture’ seem to affect various aspects
of ELTAI’s nature and functioning. It also attempts to identify some challenges
emerging from this relationship that ELTAI seems to face. The present study
offers ideas and insights relevant to other TAs, and contributes to the better
understanding of, and communication among, TAs across cultures
