Intro Statement
SPELT holds a free Academic session every month for members and non-members. These sessions are being organized since the inception of SPELT for 35 years. 420 sessions have been conducted till October 2019. It is also an interesting fact that no session has ever been cancelled or missed due to any issue or the city’s condition.
Trainers and experts are invited from different institutions to conduct training workshops on various important topics related to English Language teaching and classroom teaching practices. Non-member participants are also encouraged to attend these sessions. However, they cannot get a certificate; SPELT members, on the other hand, can choose to get a certificate by paying Rs. 100 only.
