Nepal English Language Teachers' Association (NELTA) was founded in 1992 as a voluntary, non-political, non-profit making professional association with the aim of enhancing quality of English language teaching and learning in Nepal collaborating with the government in various strands such as ELT curricula, materials production, training, etc. It was to set up a common platform for all the teachers of English in Nepal to support their professional development and develop their competency and proficiency to create skilled human resources. NELTA serves as a platform for all teacher, teacher educators, curriculum developers, textbook writers and other materials developers, researchers, language policy makers, from home and abroad who can come together at this platform and share their expertise and experiences with the spirit of "learn and let learn." With its fifty branches and seven provincial committees (4800 life members) at home and network with ELT associations in the neighbouring countries as well as with IATEFL and TESOL, NELTA works in close association with British Council, American Embassy, Ministry of Education and Sports and other organizations.   The beauty of NELTA is that its members include teachers from pre-primary to tertiary levels of education, teacher trainers/educators, professionals associated with ELT and faculties from different Universities. The mission of the association is to establish NELTA as a forum for enhancing the quality of English language teaching and learning through professional networking, supporting and collaboration and to foster the exchange of idea, resources, information and experience among people associated with ELT. Moreover, to publish ELT materials, journal and periodicals and establishing a network among the professional association with interests and goal. It provides an ideal platform to the novice teachers’ prolific minds to put forth their creativity, aspirations and talent though worthy and enjoyable contributions. Furthermore, it reflects the singular spirit and achievements in multitudinous areas. This is the largest association that works with and for English teachers.   Motikala Subba Dewan President Nepal English Language Teachers Association (NELTA) August 1, 2020        

  It is my sheer pleasure to welcome you in the webpages of Nepal English Language Teachers’ Association (NELTA).  This volunteer organization for teachers is governed by Executive Committees in Center, provinces and districts so to reach out every possible places. This common forum of English teachers has been offering membership, training, developing ELT materials and conferencing. It works closely with the institutions involved in ELT in Nepal. Being a member in NELTA, every member can get various information and platform for teaching and learning. Curriculum in Nepal offers English as second language for learners formally in schools or Universities and informally for skill learners. The importance of English Language literacy and proficiency is growing more and more every other day. Globalization has made it indispensable skill of communication, personality, education and job at last. English Language is an integral part of learning skills each student must possess from early years of schooling to University scholars. English language serves as the master-key to global information and knowledge world. Every motivated and trained teacher can create huge differences in learning. This organization has glorious and tenacious history. I would like to thank the leaders and committee members over the years since its inception. We are now entering into digital age of learning; every ELT teacher must have efficiency over digital device. NELTA completely focuses on the professional development and reshaping the identity of the teachers. NELTA is evolving and it has devised its strategies how to empower English Teachers to make every lesson effective. At last, I would like to conclude with a quote of anonymous “Teaching is the one profession that cerates all the other profession”   Ishwari Bahadur Adhikari General Secretary Nepal English Language Teachers’ Association (NELTA) Nepal
