• NILE in Europe

    NILE was founded in 1995 on outward-looking and all-welcoming principles and we have enjoyed 21 years of friendship and collaboration with teachers and other education professionals across Europe and around the world.

    There is no way the referendum decision will impact on our beliefs in that regard, other than making them stronger.

    At NILE, we are profoundly shocked at the democratic decision taken by the people of the UK, but will work undiminished with all our friends and partners to ensure NILE has a place in Europe as well as welcoming people from all countries to work, share and develop with NILE, in Norwich and internationally.

  • NILE Online: Formally Aligned to the Eaquals Framework for Language Teacher Training and Development

    NILE Online courses have recently been accredited as being aligned to the Eaquals Teacher Development framework. NILE has mapped the contents of its online courses, indicating how they relate to the competencies covered by the framework.

    This mapping is an important facet of the NILE courses, both for individuals and for the organisations they work in.

    For individuals it offers the reassurance that the content they are covering on a specific course (such as Technology Assisted Language Learning) is relevant to their general development as a teacher and to the progression of their career.
