Upskilling Language Instructors for Online Teaching
The Electrolengua project aims to upskill language teachers to digital education through peer-led guidance by teachers who are active in this mode of teaching in order for them to make the transition from offline to online teaching as easy as possible; this will go some way to safeguard their livelihoods so they are able to continue to provide quality teaching to their students.
OBJECTIVES
Equip and educate educators without formal qualifications how to use their talents, skills abilities in order to increase their chances for development in their life and work field for a secure future through online teaching.
Provide the ability for teachers that have a caregiving role in their family to undertake a peer-led course based on their needs while also encourage networking with other language teachers among Europe.
Provide skills for teachers to teach online but also include teachers who teach language lessons in physical schools, online institutions and independently.
Enhance online employment opportunities for language teachers while decreasing age-based discrimination through the provision of accessible employment routes and the creation of job opportunities for migrants teaching aid/NGO support workers.
