Program Description
The C5 + O.N.E. Ed program aims to create a cohort of highly qualified English language teachers who can teach English in Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as in the C5 + O.N.E. and English Access Scholarship Programs.
The C5 + O.N.E. Ed program offers a unique professional development opportunity for early-career English teachers from Central Asia (Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). This program brings together 200 teachers and 20 teacher trainers from World Learning and Georgetown University in Washington, DC, to enhance teaching skills and English proficiency. Through a combination of online courses, a month-long intensive in-person workshop in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and ongoing mentoring, participants will gain expertise in communicative language teaching, student-centered methods, technology integration, and more.
Participants must commit to online learning from January-April 2025, attend a month-long workshop in July 2025, and actively engage in professional development through 2026. By 2027, they are expected to teach at least one class in the C5 + O.N.E. program, English Access Scholarship Program, or other U.S. government-funded English program.
