Our English Language division who work on the OI Digital Institute has been selected by the British Council, the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL) and English UK to be part of PRELIM (the Partnered Remote Language Improvement Project).
PRELIM aims to develop teaching standards across 20 countries, using the expertise of major English language organisations. We are proud to be one of the 17 English UK member centres selected for the project. The project functions like a mentoring programme, created to develop and improve the delivery of remote language learning courses.
Over the coming months, our Teacher Training department and SPELT will be piloting a mentoring programme with selected groups of teachers across central Asia, to investigate applications that can be used to access remote learning in areas with limited access to bandwidth or technology. We will be investigating solutions to negate the technological barriers faced by remote communities to improve teaching and learning outcomes for remote students.
This project continues to strengthen our digital division and improve the delivery of our programmes while showcasing our teaching expertise on a global platform.
