Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins
For more than 90 years, World Learning has equipped individuals and institutions to address the world’s most pressing problems. We believe that, working together with our partners, we can change this world for the better.
On my travels, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with many of those who have joined us in this mission. In Baghdad, we’ve trained more than 2,300 Iraqi youth who are already giving back at home. In London, our partners in the TAAP Initiative strongly believe that we are all responsible to practice inclusion. And in Vermont, our Experiment in International Living and School for International Training participants prove every day that they have the tools and the determination to change the world.
Please join us in our pursuit of a more peaceful and just world.

Program Description
The Jakarta English Language Teacher Training 2023 Program was a blended online and in-person teacher training program supporting English teachers in Indonesia to develop as professionals and teach English in English using learner-centered, communicative methods.
Through this program, World Learning aimed to increase the capacity and effectiveness of English language teachers and teacher trainers in Indonesia, support inclusive education of students and professional development of teachers, and promote interactive, learner-centered education practices. Participants of the program completed two self-paced online courses developed by National Geographic Learning: English for Teaching and Professional Knowledge for English Language Teachers. Peer Learning Hubs (PLH) integrated experiential learning, practical activities, and reflection into the online courses. They supported teachers taking the online courses and provided a professional learning community for teachers to interact with as they completed the curriculum. In this extension of the original ELTT Program, World Learning supported the professional development of five coaches, 40 teacher trainers, and 600 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.
In the final stage of the program, World Learning hosted an Essential Skills in ELT and Teacher Training skill-building workshop for 75 program alumni, including teachers, trainers, and coaches, to help alumni apply their knowledge gained in both ELTeach modules. This six-day workshop enabled participants to plan, teach, and self-assess lessons using two lesson planning frameworks and communicative, learner-centered skills presented in the ELTeach Professional Knowledge for ELT course.
