With sponsorship from the El-Yurt Umidi Foundation, we were very pleased to welcome a group of teachers from universities across Uzbekistan for a 4-week professional development course in August. The teaching was divided into two-week blocks and teachers worked on three different areas: Teaching English for Specific Purposes; Teaching and Assessing Spoken English; and Training Other Teachers.
As part of NILE’s summer programme, participants were also able to take part in workshops on a variety of topics and attend guest lectures from well-known ELT professionals.
They also had the opportunity to interact with other NILE participants in social programme events such as a music evening, as well as weekend trips to London and the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The participants said:
Thank you for giving us expert knowledge on various topics. It was unforgettable….
We hope to come back to NILE again.All courses were organised perfectly and… were helpful to us.
I hope to implement the acquired knowledge in Uzbekistan.I have got a lot of new information and enriched my knowledge with new methods.
All the staff at NILE are polite, kind and helpful.
