The National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE) is the UK subject teacher association for all aspects of English from pre-school to university. NATE supports effective teaching and learning, keeps teachers informed about current developments and provides them with a voice at a national level. [1]

NATE has several committees and standing working parties. It conducts research into the teaching of English and is involved in curriculum development initiatives with the Arts Council and Becta. NATE is also a member of the International Federation of the Teachers of English.
