Getting involved

Getting involved in what we do

ALL as an organisation dedicates its resources into supporting and representing language teachers in the UK, with the help of volunteers – language professionals who are passionate about language learning and teaching.

Could you be one of them?

ALL in your area

There are over 60 local ALL groups around the country run by dedicated volunteers, serving the ALL community through training, conferences, workshops and networking events.

Would you like to be one of our local volunteers? To get involved, contact your local ALL group, or read more about setting up a new ALL local group.

ALL about your language

ALL’s Language Networks promote the interests of teachers of a particular language keeping teachers updated on developments in their language.

ALL about your sector

Our Special Interest Groups focus on broader areas and sectors of language teaching – currently: primary, initial teacher education / training, secondary, CLIL and decolonising the curriculum.

ALL about Collaborations

In 2026 the theme of Language World Conference is 'Collaboration at the heart of languages education'.

ALL exists as an independent charity in a national and international community of people with an interest in teaching and learning languages. We each have our own specific roles, but often have a lot in common, especially in matters relating to raising the profile of languages, and public awareness of successes. Our means individually may be small, but together we have a stronger voice and potentially more capacity to make a difference for the future of languages.

ALL about your publications

ALL publishes various publications for language teachers, written by practising teachers from all educational sectors and all those interested in learning and teaching languages in the UK and beyond – and we welcome contributions from ALL members!

Would you like to write for one of our publications? To get involved, please contact us.

ALL in action

We believe that it is important to respond as a community to issues which concern the teaching of languages, and that by doing this, we can shape the future of our profession.
