The membership grew fast, the scope of activities widened and in February 1991 the initial efforts were crowned by the success of the First National ELT Conference and a book fair in Prague, in which Czech teachers gave presentations alongside their colleagues from a number of countries of the world. In 1991 seventeen regional centres equipped with libraries were established across the country. In 1992 the video programme, Alternatives for Teachers of English, was made and in 1993 it was repeatedly shown on a nation-wide channel of Czech Television. National events are held biennially, with regional events in the intervening years. Over the years, the association has been attracting the attention of more and more teachers of English in the country, building its position as a partner in negotiations concerning the development of ELT in the Czech lands as well as establishing its international relations.
Elections take place every two years.
There are seventeen regional centres with regional representatives and new ones may be formed, according to need and interest. There is also institutional membership. Membership is for the calendar year, January through December. There is an annual membership fee. Forms may be photocopied.
