HYDERABAD: A three-day conference on assessing and evaluating English language teacher education started here on Saturday. Organised by the British Council and the English and Foreign Languages University ( EFLU), more than 1,000 speakers have come down to the city to participate in the conference being held at HICC, Hitec City.
Issues ranging from the divide between classroom and the outside world, changing the assessment system, merging technology with teaching would be discussed during the conference. Officials of the British Council said that there would be a gradual change in the system of education and that the concept of e-classroom which is taking shape in India will make a difference to teaching and learning.
The conference brought together teachers from not just different states of India but across the world for discussing the diversity of a classroom and bridging the gap between privileged students and those who are deprived of good education.
Michael Carrier, Director, English language development with British Council said that teachers during their careers cover 10,000 students and that the conference aimed at impacting those 10,000 students. He hoped the conference would eventually help improve the quality of education which in return will translate into better employment options, growth and mobility.
Rob Lynes, director, British Council, said, "The British council aims to establish innovative partnerships between India and UK to create opportunities for people to achieve more for themselves, and their communities by raising the level of English for all."
