IATEFL Poland aims to be the leading organisation representing English teaching professionals within the country, offering a range of services and publications which serve to support and maintain the development of its members within the EFL world.

If you're looking for talented TEFL professionals to join your organisation - the IATEFL Jobs Market is the perfect place to begin your search. You can interview or screen potential candidates on site during the annual IATEFL conference, or simply advertise your roles online and on the Jobs Market vacancy boards. Flexible packages are available to fit every budget and recruitment plan.

To what extent do English language teachers make use of the learners' own language in the English language classroom? Alternatively, to what extent do teachers maintain an 'English-only' classroom? Do teachers allow or encourage your learners to use their own language in class? If so, why and in what kind of ways? And if not, again, why?
