The Association is established to promote and support the learning and teaching of natural languages.  In furtherance of the above object but not further or otherwise the Association may:

  • promote improved standards of language learning and teaching;
  • encourage understanding of the importance of languages, communication and cultural issues at all levels in our global society;
