What is ETAG?

ETAG is a professional association of English teachers in Georgia. We were registered in January 1995 as a non-governmental and non-profit organization. We now have representations in nine cities of the country. All of them are well- equipped and professionally managed. Our membership includes school and university teachers of English from the state and private sectors. Our main goal is to improve the standard of English teaching in Georgia through providing professional consultancy and training, as well as through supporting the introduction of more effective teaching methods and materials.

ETAG believes in its members and in the benefits of continuous professional development!
