Welcome to MaWSIG

We are the IATEFL Materials Writing Special Interest Group. We provide support for materials writers of all levels of experience, whether you’ve been publishing for years, you’re taking the first steps in sharing your materials with a wider audience, or you want to improve what you use in your classroom every day.

We’re an active SIG, with lots going on. Take a look at our blog, Twitter, Instagram and facebook, keep up with our webinars, or join one of our face-to-face events.

I’m delighted to have been a founding member of the MaWSIG committee. It was so exciting to hold our first events and find our tribe coming together. And as time’s gone by, it’s great to see more and more teachers with a passion for writing good quality materials for use in class or for wider publication coming together and sharing their knowledge and expertise. Keep up the good work!
