New Delhi, April 24, 2017: This massive open online course (MOOC) available via the Future Learn platform has been specifically designed for the needs of teachers in India, particularly those teaching in English or who teach English as a subject. However, it is also relevant for teachers from around the world and offers an excellent opportunity for teachers to collaborate with an international community of educators.
This online course is broken into simple steps and will help teachers to develop their reflective skills and improve their practice in the classroom. It includes short video interviews with experienced teachers and activities, discussions and quizzes.
Participants will be guided through the course by British Council and UCL Institute of Education tutors, participating in discussions, sharing their experiences and opinions with other English language teachers from across India and around the world.

We’re bringing the best of UK expertise through our partner UCL Institute of Education together with our decade of experience working with teachers in India to provide a deep learning experience for thousands across the country who may not otherwise have access to this type of content.
