Language teacher associations: key
themes and future directions
This article presents the themes that emerge from this Special Issue on language
teacher associations (LTAs). I discuss various conceptualizations of LTAs, as
well as the different theoretical frameworks which the contributors to the
Special Issue use in their analyses. I then focus on some of the ways in which
LTAs achieve their mission of providing continuing professional development
(CPD) to language teachers. I discuss the importance of conferences for LTAs
as a crucial space for CPD, as a valuable membership benefit, and as a space
for initiating change. Throughout, I point out the implications of the various
contributions to this Special Issue for LTAs themselves, for researchers, and for
ELT practitioners who are members of LTAs
