Tensions in the Adult ELT Curriculum

28 May 2024. 5:30pm – 6:30pm AEST, Online

This is the second of two sessions to explore tensions within the current adult ELT curriculum. Using the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) as a case study, they explore how its curriculum has changed over time, how the current tensions emerged, and the likelihood of change in the future. Both sessions will be presentations with feedback invited from participants.

Session 2, The Burden of Compliance, looks at how tensions between policy makers and educators have led to the current onerous compliance demands on teachers in the competency environment. It examines what is being done about these demands and how they may change in the immediate future.
