If all the people helping to run the organisation can agree about beliefs and goals and a sense of mission, then, the thinking goes, people will feel congruent and inspired to act well and decisions will be easier to make since there is a strong feeling for what is a priority. If you are an IATEFL member, you may well know that Peter Grundy, our Past President, asked a group of IATEFL friendly folk to form a think tank to meet in Graz in the spring of 2005. The IATEFL Co-ordinating Committee also gave itself the luxury of a full day to talk about visions for IATEFL at a meeting in June, 2005.We took the topic a little tongue-in-cheek, for you cant believe all you read in management literature, but we nevertheless did come up with drawings, metaphors, lists, and lots of discussion on what would be a good set of beliefs for IATEFL for the future. The idea, when working on visions for the future is to come up with WHAT you hope to achieve and the WHEN you hope to achieve it by but to leave the HOW to a bit later on!Coming up with the discussion and ideas was easy but getting them simmered down into one catchy or pithy statement (which the gurus say is the next step) proved quite a challenge! This is what we have come up with so far.By 2010, IATEFL will be an even larger and more outward-looking, international community that ELT professionals will want to join, and one that forms bridges between the inexperienced and experienced, the practical and the theoretical, and the many different perspectives and contexts of the ELT world.So now we are at the stage of airing the statement, sharing it with others and starting work on the HOW part too! We hope to come up with many more specific and practical ideas for the implementation of the statement over the next few months!
