Reaching Our Members

The information below is aimed at ALL’s existing and prospective corporate members: organisations and businesses who reach our members by keeping them informed of opportunities, languages resources and services for teachers and learners, through advertising in our publications or by exhibiting or sponsoring packages at our annual  Language World Conference.

The Association for Language Learning is the major subject association for language teachers in the UK. We have over 50 Corporate Members who are part of the ALL community and support the work of ALL through Corporate Membership.

What is ALL Corporate Membership?

The opportunity for your business to reach our members – teachers and language teaching professionals of all languages, at all levels, and in all sectors, from primary teachers to teacher trainers, business language tutors to resource writers, and everything in between. Corporate Membership of ALL gives you a direct line to your target market, updates on all the news in the sector and exclusive promotional opportunities.

Many organisations involved in language teaching are already ALL Corporate Members, including small businesses producing language resources to large publishing houses, language teaching centres, universities, the education sections of foreign embassies and national organisations involved in language teaching.  Once you've found out more about ALL Corporate Membership, get in touch with the ALL office to discuss which package best suits your needs.
