Sustainable English Language Teacher Development at Scale
«This book provides, at long last, a working model of innovation that stands to inspire work in low-to-middle-income contexts, which is, in fact, the main characteristic of most countries involved in this kind of endeavour.»

The sixteen chapters explore the programme in detail, looking at both the successes and the challenges encountered throughout its course, including the strategies used to address the challenges. The key innovative factors of the programme include:
· a positive choice to build on the existing context, such as the lives and experiences of local teachers and the demands of a nationally determined curriculum;
· teacher learning taking place in the teachers’ own classrooms;
· a focus on learning the ‘how’ of communicative language teaching through reflective practice and peer support;
· the use - within a carefully constructed pedagogy - of affordable, readily-available mobile phone technology;
· the use of mediated authentic video
· a model of teacher development at very large scale that provided a successful alternative to the‘cascade’model;
· a partnership with government institutions to ensure that improved practices are maintained beyond the life of the Programme.
