Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins, CEO
World Learning believes that the best hope for peace, justice, and sustainability lies in bringing people together. Through cultural immersion, experiential learning, and information sharing, our programs equip others to collaboratively address the most pressing issues of our time.
Throughout my years at World Learning, I have had the fortunate opportunity to meet with many of our participants, partners, and alumni—a global network of learners. Our programs help them understand other cultures, master new skills, and cultivate networks. Our teaching and training methodologies empower them to find locally relevant, sustainable, and implementable solutions. Our approaches emphasize flexibility and adaptability that help them tackle real-world problems. They, in turn, make extraordinary changes in their lives and communities.
Please join us—and those we work with and serve around the world—in our pursuit to create a brighter and better future for all.

Program Description
The Access Virtual Potential Teacher Training Program is an online teacher training program supporting teachers in Indonesia to develop as professionals and teach English in English using learner-centered, communicative methods.
Through this virtual program, World Learning aims to increase the capacity and effectiveness of English language teachers in Indonesia, support inclusive education of students and professional development of teachers, and promote interactive, learner-centered education practices. Participants of the program complete two self-paced online courses developed by National Geographic Learning: English for Teaching and Professional Knowledge for English Language Teachers. Virtual Peer Learning Hubs integrate experiential learning, practical activities, and reflection into the online courses. They support teachers taking the online courses and provide a professional learning community for teachers to interact with as they complete the curriculum. Building off World Learning’s experience with the in-person ELTT program in Indonesia, this virtual program will rely on seven TESOL specialists from the World Learning pool of trainers to facilitate the training and professional development of 200 teachers in Indonesia, enabling them to increase their competency in teaching English using communicative, learner-centered methods and enhance the learning experience and English fluency of Indonesian students.
Program Goals
- Enhance the capacity and confidence of English teachers to teach English language lessons in English.
- Promote communicative, learner-centered, experiential teaching practices.
- Provide youth with increased access to higher education and job opportunities, to help further their societal integration.
- Enhance the learning experience and English fluency of students.
