Partnership Projects in ELT

Our global vision for English and our commitment towards facilitating the socio-economic development of Sri Lanka and India forms the basis of the activities of Project English. Till date, our projects with state partners have typically focused on training teachers, developing course materials, providing innovative ELT resources and training to build teacher communities. Further, we have been collaborating with corporates, trade associations and NGOs for improving the employment prospects of youth across the region.

The Cascade Model

For executing these projects, we draw upon our vast experience and research into teacher training cascade projects around the globe. The cascade model is best visualised as a pyramid with a number of layers of trainers who train those in the layer below.

Our methodology
We do not prescribe one particular methodology. However, our teacher development projects are based on some guiding principles, which represent our beliefs about English language learning and teacher development. Find out more.

In summary, our aim is to make each project sustainable and create a long-term impact.
