WORKSHOPS AND SHORT COURSES

In line with the Taiwan government's initiatives in English education, British Council, Taipei has been working in close collaboration with local City and County governments to deliver professional English training programmes to local school Principals and English teachers!!  

Alongside the collaboration with local education authorities, in recent years we have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Taiwan's Ministry of Education in the promotion of English Language Teaching. We have worked very closely with the MOE in delivering training courses for their staff in Workplace English and also facilitated MOE projects for sending teachers to the UK to undertake further study and trainings.

Over the past few years, from ELT workshops, seminars, conferences to full-time training programmes, we have successfully conducted more than 25 major ELT events bringing UK expertise, best practices and examples to more than 3000 teachers and parents in Taiwan.
