Host Institution Nepal English Language Teachers’ Association
Project Description NELTA (Nepal English Language Teachers’ Association) was founded in 1992. The main objective behind its establishment was to set up a common platform for all the teachers of English in Nepal so as to support their professional development. Members include teachers at all levels of the educational process as well as private and government funded schools and universities. The need to improve the teaching and learning of the English language, thereby keeping abreast of new developments in English Language Teaching, lays the foundation for NELTA. Several of Kathmandu’s IV participants are NELTA members. Upon returning to Nepal, these IV participants remark about the wealth of information provided during the programs. The US Embassy in Kathmandu would like to assist NELTA in standardizing its training materials and developing core materials for its members by providing a dedicated EL professional for these purposes. The government of Nepal provides little if any on-going assistance to its teachers; NELTA was formed to fill this void. [Click here to view full description] |
