Joint Projects with the Ministry of Education

English Together

The English Together project was launched in 2020 in cooperation with the Teacher Training and Development General Directorate of the Ministry of National Education, British Council, and Sabancı Foundation. And in 2021, it continued to support the continuous professional development of English language teachers. The project aims to encourage modern language teaching methods and techniques, boost the efficiency of foreign language teaching, and support the professional and personal development of English teachers working in middle schools. The first pilot implementation of the project reached over 1000 teachers in 19 districts of Ankara. Subsequently, 300 teachers from 23 provinces received online trainings to ease into professional learning groups. After gathering face-to-face for a summer course in September in Yalova, they returned to their posts and established professional learning communities to pass on their experiences. Almost 450 teachers participated in the training program in Erzurum in November-December 2021 to further disseminate the project across Turkey.
