The English Language Teaching Professionals Network (ELTPN) provides opportunities for English language teaching professionals to exchange teaching experience and provides input on innovative teaching approaches and techniques.
The ELTPN is a free service for practicing English language teachers and teacher trainers in Bahrain and the Middle East.
