This year there was a special serendipity about the conference location as IATEFL Manchester coincided with the launch of NILE Manchester, which drew a huge crowd of well-wishers to the NILE stand.

  • The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure

    NILE Associate Trainer Chris Rose has just been published!
