PROJECT OBJECTIVE

Supporting English Teachers in creating Student-centred Classrooms

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Educare worked with the education bureaus from the cities of Jinjiang and Chengdu to conduct a series of workshops to improve teachers’ teaching of the English language.

The strategies were adapted to the curriculum and they were especially useful for English teachers to create a student-centred learning environment. The various structures allowed students to have daily practice in English oral communication while working in pairs or teams. They also facilitated the development of written English language skills. Interesting and fun ways to learn and practise English language were also promoted in group class activities.
