Society of Pakistan English Language Teachers (SPELT) is a registered, non-political, non-government voluntary body of English language teachers from school, colleges and universities. Formed in 1984 in Karachi, it is dedicated to improving the standard of English language teaching and learning in Pakistan. SPELT operates on the principle of team-work and self help to enable maximum exploitation of the limited resources available in the country. As a body it attempts to be well-informed about recent developments in teaching techniques, which invariably need to be modified in order to suit the needs and limitations of the Pakistan situation. It is affiliated with a number of international organisations like TESOL (USA), IATEFL (UK), RELC (Singapore), TESOL (Greece) and Thai TESOL.

Objectives:
• To provide a professional forum for English language teachers in Pakistan.
• To serve as a centre for the dissemination of current ideas and developments in ELT.
• To provide in-service courses, seminars and workshops in ELT.
• To build up a resource centre, complete with up-to-date ELT materials and audio-visual aids, with loan facilities for members.
