3.1.1 Instructional context
Review Materials
Welcome to the “Instructional context” Section of the ENRICH CPD Course. This Section takes a closer look at the context of English education. It explores factors that influence teaching and learning in particular classrooms, including: a) the way that ‘English’ is defined in educational policy, b) the international, as well as national and local, community of teachers, c) the school culture and the attitudes and beliefs about English teaching and learning, d) underlying ideas about English and English language learning in teaching materials, and e) the attitudes and beliefs of key stakeholders, such as school administrators, test-makers, policy-makers, teachers and parents. Emphasis is placed on guiding the participants in creating a “map” of the landscape in which they teach English, so as to explore how open their context is to incorporating ELF-aware thinking and teaching. This Section includes one Activity in total.

5. Final Assignment
Review Materials
Welcome to the “Final Assignment” Section of the ENRICH CPD Course. This Section provides a comprehensive description of the Final Assignment of the ENRICH CPD Course, as was administered during the implementation of the Course in 2020, in the framework of the ENRICH Project. It begins with an overview of the content of the Course and then the components of the Final Assignment are described in detail. These are:
1. Designing an ELF-aware lesson plan.
2. Teaching that ELF-aware lesson plan and, ideally, recording it.
3. Evaluating the ELF-aware lesson based on principles discussed in the Sections of the Course.
It should be highlighted as well that, during the implementation of the Course in 2020, a peer-review process was adopted to foster collaboration, peer-learning and reflective dialogue through the exchange of knowledge and experience. The Final Assignment that each participant had developed was forwarded (anonymously) to other participants of the Course, who provided feedback and shared their perspective of it in relation to their own background and teaching context.

3.1 Establishing context
Review Materials
Welcome to the “Establishing context” Section of the ENRICH CPD Course. This Section focuses on the significance of the context in English language teaching and learning. To this end, it addresses a range of taken-for-granted “truths” related to our ways of understanding ‘English’ and our role as teachers which can and do change over time. Emphasis is placed on how English is used in society, on how teachers and learners use English both in and outside of school and on how English education relates to these uses. This Section includes two Activities in total.
