British Council in Pakistan recently pioneered an innovative event focusing on advances in English Language Teaching (ELT) in the country. The conference brought together key stakeholders to discuss challenges and future opportunities.
In a groundbreaking move, the British Council facilitated crucial discussions between thought leaders, educators, and policymakers on the vital role of English education and teacher readiness. The interactive workshops also explored integrating technology into language classrooms.
The event emphasized the importance of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for public and private school teachers to refine their skills. Representatives from prestigious institutions like LUMS and Taleemabad exchanged ideas on peer learning.
Through immersive workshops, participants equipped themselves with tools to establish inclusive classrooms, raise awareness of climate change, and seamlessly integrate AI into ELT. The British Council aims to revolutionize Pakistan’s ELT landscape through such forward-thinking initiatives.
Country Director James Hampson expressed the British Council’s commitment to investing in Pakistan’s education system. Head of English Programs Talha Chishti highlighted that embracing technology and AI in ELT classrooms can significantly enhance outcomes.
The event united stakeholders from across academia, research, teacher training centers and government around a shared vision to promote ELT policies and practices countrywide.
