As the aim of AzETA is to assist the professional development of English teachers of secondary schools and universities throughout Azerbaijan both in public and private sectors, regular training, workshops are held in different regions of Azerbaijan for this purpose. Such a strategy resulted in establishing AzETA branches in 5 different regions of Azerbaijan. So far AzETA has the below branches:
AzETA is holding negotiations with English teachers in the South of Azerbaijan to establish AzETA South Branch in Lenkaran.
Until November 2007, Lankaran had only 3 AzETA members. Thanks to Kathy Taylor, an English Language Fellow who has been assigned to teach English as a Second Language at Lankaran State University, there are more men and women taking an active role in AzETA. She recruited 8 people to attend the 4th AzETA International ELT Conference held in Baku on 10-11 November 2007. She also helped facilitate the Classroom Management workshop held in December. One of her main goals while in the Lankaran region is to increase membership in AzETA, as well as to help the teachers establish a branch. Membership is growing. There are now 15 AzETA members, with anticipation of many more joining as the Branch becomes a reality. Thus, beginning in February 2008, AzETA teachers from Lankaran, Astara, and Jalilabad have been meeting every two weeks with U.S. Embassy English Language Fellow - Kathy Taylor, and U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers - Tim Ong, Joyce Hahn, Jane Flegal, and Whitney Bey to build a foundation to formally establish an AzETA branch in Lankaran for the benefit of all AzETA members in Southern Azerbaijan.
Negotiations are also carried out between AzETA management and the authority of Lenkaran State University for the South Branch office in the premises of the University. Initial agreement has been achieved. Soon a contract will be signed. Official inauguration ceremony is expected in late June.
