Project Description
The EL Fellow is requested to come to Kuwait under the auspices of the Kuwait Ministry of Education in order to develop new teaching methodologies, improve usage of technology in classrooms, advance teacher training and development, introduce American English learning materials, and improve English language curriculum at the primary level. The EL Fellow will provide in-service training in the form of workshops and seminars to EL teachers at all levels (primary to secondary) and to teacher supervisors, in conjunction with the Kuwait Teachers Society. The EL Fellow will identify the best technology and supplementary materials for teaching English to younger children. In the context of Kuwaiti efforts to reform its EL curriculum and teaching methods, the EL Fellow will also conduct seminars on current trends in teaching methodology for faculty and students at Kuwait University and the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), the two institutions in Kuwait that train Kuwait's EL teachers at all levels.
