Engaging teachers in South Asia with research evidence: Improving English language learning in areas with poor access to resources

In most South Asian contexts, English language teachers work with few resources and no access to research evidence about effective teaching. The aim of this pump priming project is to broker new collaborations and to design and trial a series of teacher training workshops to initiate improved understanding of research among English teachers in four South Asian countries: Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The workshops will draw on open accessible summaries of high-quality research on language education from OASIS (led by the Department of Education, York), facilitating bespoke and co-constructed engagement with key implications of research for language education.
