ETTE
English for Teaching: Teaching for English

Reaching teachers across Central and South Asia

You love teaching …
but you’d like to improve your classroom English…
motivate your students more…
and get more opportunities for training or development…

Does this sound like you? If so, maybe ETTE is just what you’re looking for!

What is ETTE?

The English for Teaching: Teaching for English (ETTE) project is for teachers of English living in far flung areas in the Central and South Asia region. ETTE is particularly for teachers who have not yet benefited from training or development opportunities.

ETTE helps school teachers improve their performance in the classroom by enhancing their access to materials, methods and opportunities for their professional training and development.

Why get involved?

ETTE will help you:

  • get confidence in your classroom skills
  • improve your classroom English to help you teach English using English
  • get enough materials, ideas and information so that you can develop as a teacher.

If you are a teacher trainer with experience and ideas, ETTE could help you make a valuable contribution to your community by using your skills on an important project.

Which countries participated?

The project involves six countries in the Central and South Asia region: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan.

What kinds of activities are included in ETTE?

ETTE has conducted teacher training courses for teachers in all participating countries.

In the teacher training course, there are an opportunity for you to learn more teaching ideas, share your experience with other teachers and immediately put new ideas into practice. There will also be EL corners where you can find teaching materials.

ETTE IN BANGLADESH

ETTE has developed a teacher training course for Bangladesh Primary School teachers. The 45 hour training course is attracting very positive feedback from a range of stakeholders:

“ I would like to congratulate the BC/ETTE project on it’s excellent work” Md. Nazrul Islam Khan Private Secretary to the Prime Minister Ex Director General Directorate of Primary Education

“ETTE has had a great effect on our teaching techniques. This training is most important and valuable for our jobs” Head Teacher  Alexander Model Govt Primary School

“There should be a plan to provide the ETTE training to all Primary School teachers of English throughout Bangladesh” Head Teacher Heshakhal Primary School

The course can also be adapted to a shorter workshop format in accordance with the requirements of our stakeholders.

Our partners include PEDP-2, ARBAN, UKBET , UNHCR and the British High Commission who recently funded a language training programme for  Rohingha refugee teachers.
