MAELT Annual Conference

 In the late 70s in HK, we had the Primary English Teachers' Association (PETA), and the Secondary School English Teachers' Association (SSETA), both of which were administered by the British Council HK. Then in the late 80s, we had the Hong Kong division of the UK-based International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL). Still later in the 90s, we started to have the HKPTU ELT Group. 

Today, none of these professional groups for English teachers in HK have continued to function. 

In contrast, in Macao, they have the very active Macao Association for the Advancement of English Language Teaching, which runs an annual conference on top of other activities. 

My salutes to them.
