Developing the community of practice in the AMEP

Abstract:
Teachers working in the Adult Migrant English Programme (AMEP) bring to their task a great deal of knowledge, experience and expertise. They also face constant demands on their professional adaptability as global events lead to their working with language learners from very different backgrounds, while evolving national policies suggest changing priorities for their teaching. This paper reports on the introduction of an approach to continuing professional development designed to support teachers in their autonomous growth with regard to both their expertise and their flexibility. The underlying principle involved is that of extending one’s interactive repertoire to include the purposeful use of non-judgmental discourse. This can be shown to assist individual development and also enhance a sense of collegiality in a shared community of practice. Genuine data from project participants are used to demonstrate how the approach works and informal participant evaluation is also included. ; 16 page(s)
