The English Association (EA)
Promoting, supporting, and celebrating English Studies
The English Association is a national subject association for English literature, language, and creative writing across primary, secondary, further, and higher education. As a subject association and learned society which spans every level of education and every branch of the subject, the English Association is an ideal home for people who want to keep abreast of developments right across the discipline.
Founded in 1906, we bring together individuals and organisations from all sectors and all areas of English studies. Through our publications, events, and networks, we initiate dialogue, distribute and enhance knowledge, and celebrate and strengthen the discipline. We have an engaged membership of over 2,000 education experts, ranging from primary and early years through secondary and further education to higher education; our publications reach tens of thousands of readers in schools, libraries, and universities all over the world. We are proud to work alongside other subject associations such as the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE) and the UK Literacy Association (UKLA)
Membership of the English Association will give you access to cutting-edge research and high-quality teaching resources; enable you to attend timely, relevant and action-focused professional development events; and provide a route to participation in national and international debates about the teaching and learning of English language, literature and creative writing.
It will bring you into contact with people from other institutions and other sectors of education and enhance both your professional life and your personal enjoyment of English through collaboration, community, and shared knowledge.
