Dear all,

We’d like to invite you to the next Centre for Language Education Research (CLER) seminar which will take place on Wednesday 8 June, 16:00-17:30, Hillary Place, Coach House. Professor Simon Borg,  will be talking about Reforming State Education English Language Teaching: An Analysis of Recent Teacher Development Projects (abstract below). 

In this talk, I will discuss some of the ELT teacher development projects I have worked on recently. These projects provide insight into the kinds of issues that Ministries of Education in different countries are focusing on as they seek to raise levels of teaching and learning English. My analysis will also highlight the models of teacher development that Ministries (or the agencies responsible for project delivery) are adopting in order to support ELT reform. Overall, the projects I discuss provide evidence of both innovative practices as well as of interventions which are less likely to achieve sustained change.   

Seminars are free and open to all, and we look forward to welcoming you
