Future English Online Teacher Community is our new peer-led online platform for English language teachers. The platform provides a forum where teachers can engage in new ideas and relevant discussions, share knowledge and experience, reflect on their practice and take part in research.
The Online Teacher Community platform has been designed with the aim to further develop English language teaching communities across the region and to grow the British Council's interaction and online support for English language teachers.
