London, 10th February 2023: Oxford International Education Group (OIEG) has been chosen to participate in the British Council’s and English UK’s Partnered Remote Language Improvement Project (PRELIM), for the third year running.
Launched in 2021, the PRELIM Project strives to improve student’s education around the world. The project is funded by the British Council and offers support for the development of teachers using English in over 40 countries.
Aimed at collaboratively developing learning resources for students and educators around the world, the PRELIM Project is run in partnership with IATEFL and English UK, with NILE providing expertise as managing consultants.
To date, the PRELIM programme has worked with over 5,500 teachers globally to improve access, delivery and outcomes in the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) industry by strengthening partnerships, bolstering the confidence of teachers, and building communities of English language teachers around the world.
OIEG has been involved in PRELIM 1 & PRELIM 2 projects, helping improve teachers’ confidence in the English language classroom. Throughout both projects, OIEG reached over 100 teachers in Pakistan and Laos. In PRELIM 3, OIEG will work with English Language and Literature Teachers’ Society Cameroon (ELTS-CAMELTA) to develop innovative teaching tools for educators across the globe.
“We are beyond thrilled to have been selected once again for this prestigious programme’’, said Gary Palmer, Managing Director of the OI Digital Institute [AK1] & English Language divisions at Oxford International Education Group. “Working with TESOL teachers to develop resources and support systems plays a crucial part in improving the standard of education for students.
