English Language Teaching Society – London Metropolitan University
Founded in 2025 by Josef Al-Raheme , a Master’s student in English Language Teaching at London Metropolitan University and a future PhD candidate, the English Language Teaching Society is a vibrant and forward-thinking academic community. It was established to support students and aspiring educators in exploring the theory and practice of English language teaching in both local and global contexts.
As the first society of its kind at the university, we aim to foster intellectual exchange, practical development, and professional growth through a range of activities including expert guest talks, collaborative workshops, research seminars, and career-focused events. Our mission is to bridge academic knowledge with classroom application, while promoting inclusive and culturally responsive language education.
Led by Josef Al-Raheme (Founder and President), alongside Haider Al-Raheme (Communications Officer) and Yara Gamal (Treasurer), the society is open to all students with an interest in TESOL, Applied Linguistics, language pedagogy, or international education. Together, we are building a platform for dialogue, innovation, and academic excellence within the ELT field.
The Student Communities Committee is responsible for embedding student representation into the delivery of our service to students at London Met. It seeks to engage students in decision-making processes in Student Communities that affect Student Groups. The Committee consists of four elected representatives, 3 Student Group Leaders from any Student Group, and one from a Verve Media Student Group. The committee also consists of the VP of Activities and Opportunities, who is the chair of this committee with decision-making rights within the committee. The Committee has three key areas of responsibility: 1. Approving funding applications from Student Groups 2. Ensuring the Student Communities are student-led and supported 3. Undertaking ad-hoc business when required for key events Our aim is to ensure Student Communities are shaped by students, and students have the opportunity to use their experience of our service to shape it.
