Our Teacher Training will consist of thirty hours of instruction over the course of five days. We are expecting about 10 teachers and have the following goals:

-Give the teachers as much exposure as possible to Native English in order to increase their confidence and ability to communicate

-Capacity build in the area of Pedagogical knowledge in order to improve and diversify their teaching strategies

-Introduce the resources (Oxford Picture Dictionary and other story books) to the teachers and present them with strategies to incorporate them into their own lessons in the future
