The National Association of Teachers of Languages in Colleges of Education and Polytechnics (NATELCEP) is a professional body dedicated to advancing language education across Nigerian tertiary institutions. Established over three decades ago, NATELCEP brings together language educators, researchers, and administrators committed to excellence in teaching and learning.

Our mission is to promote professional development, facilitate research collaboration, and provide a platform for sharing best practices in language pedagogy and communication studies. Through our flagship publication, the NATELCEP Journal of Languages and Communication Studies (NJLCS), we contribute to the growing body of knowledge in applied linguistics, language teaching methodologies, and communication education.
