The English Language Teachers’ Association Frankfurt/Rhine-Main-Neckar e.V.

ELTAF is a registered association. All Committee work is done on a purely volunteer basis, at weekends and in off-hours. Although this does not excuse mistakes or delays, we hope that our organization's services will be seen in this light. Nevertheless, we strive continuously to improve the quality of our publication and services and are grateful for constructive suggestions and comments.
