This poster presentation will describe an ongoing research project led by the Cameroon English Language Teachers’ Association (CAMELTA). The project developed during CAMELTA’s annual conference in August 2013 from over 300 teachers identifying practical challenges within their contexts and designing questions they would want to investigate. These questions were collated and common patterns identified leading to a further refinement of research questions that constituted the basis for an open-ended questionnaire administered, so far, to more than 500 members of CAMELTA during their regional workshops. The enthusiasm and commitment of teachers to this project as well as provisional coding of the data collected suggests that there may be value in encouraging other TAs to investigate and disseminate their own good practices. It is hoped that this project will lead to the development of a wider field of ‘Teacher Association research’.
