Australian Council of TESOL Associations (ACTA)
About ACTA
The Australian Council of TESOL Associations (ACTA) is the peak professional body for TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) educators in adult and school settings.
It comprises representatives from state and territory TESOL professional associations, whose members include teachers, program managers, researchers, consultants and curriculum developers.
ACTA Objectives
- to represent and support the interests of teachers of English to speakers of other languages and dialects and their students
- to ensure access to appropriate English language instruction for speakers of other languages and dialects
- to encourage implementation and delivery of quality professional programs at all levels
- to promote study, research and development of TESOL at local, regional, national and international levels.
Membership of ACTA comes automatically through membership of WATESOL (and other state TESOL associations), and $20 from each member’s fee is paid to ACTA to support its objectives.
ACTA is made up of councillors from each state and territory association. To see a list of ACTA’s councillors (and a point of contact for each one) please follow the button link below.
