After 6 months of now physically living in the UAE as well, here is… [drumrolls!]…

My Middle-Eastern ELT Teacher Training Manifesto -in line with Communicative Language Teaching. 😉

Make sure you add a pinch of all these ingredients for the best student experience:

S-S over TTT

Context (=Text) over PPT

Meaning over Form 

Scope over Drowning 

SEL over Punitive

Humans over Tech

Monitor over Neglect 

Teach In-Class over Assigning as Homework 

(Download the complete PDF here).

Which of these ‘flavors’ is most important, in your opinion?
