Welcome to our July newsletter

Dear Phil,

There’s a growing awareness in ELT of the need to understand and capitalise on learners’ linguistic diversity, but how much training or support have teachers had? How well equipped are you to help the teachers you work with?  

We have a webinar, a case study and a catch-up to help you answer these questions. Afterwards, share your insights in our Teacher Educator Facebook group and be part of making this community grow. 

The latest edition of The Teacher Trainer Journal is out now, full of interesting articles and reviews. 

Enjoy the content.
