IATEFL was delighted to participate in the 34th IATEFL Poland International Conference, held in Łódź from 19 – 21 September 2025. We extend our sincere thanks to IATEFL Poland for the invitation and warm welcome.
IATEFL Head Office representative, Iwona Minkowska, joined the event to meet delegates and share information about the many benefits of IATEFL membership — including the discounted Association Individual Membership (AIM). This special membership category is available exclusively to members joining through our Associate teaching associations worldwide.
Reflecting this year’s conference theme, Back from the Future, which explored responsible and sustainable uses of AI and technology in ELT, IATEFL President Chris Graham delivered a well-received plenary titled How can we make sustainability in ELT more, er, sustainable? Additionally, IATEFL Learning Technology Special Interest Group (LTSIG) Committee members, Maria Diakou and Eftychis Kantarakis, presented as part of the Learning Technology stream, sharing insights into the evolving relationship between technology and language learning.
Outgoing IATEFL Poland President and conference organiser, Rob Howard, expressed his appreciation:
“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to IATEFL President Christopher Graham for joining us at the 34th IATEFL Poland International Conference, continuing the valued tradition of welcoming nearly all past presidents throughout the years. Your presence greatly enriched the event and strengthened our shared mission. We are also deeply grateful to Iwona Minkowska from the IATEFL team for attending and actively supporting the promotion of membership in both our associations. Their efforts play an important role in cementing and building lasting cooperation and support between our organizations. We also want to thank the IATEFL LTSIG’s Maria Diakou and Eftychis Kantarakis for joining us as part of the Learning Technology theme. We look forward to next year and perhaps having more IATEFL SIGs join us.”
IATEFL is proud to continue strengthening ties with our Associates worldwide and values the opportunity to collaborate with IATEFL Poland in supporting English language professionals through shared learning, innovation, and community.
