Our Partnership with NILE

Macmillan Education and Norwich Institute for Language Education have been working together since 2016 to develop and promote quality teacher education programmes worldwide. 

NILE is a world-leading centre of excellence in the provision of teacher development courses, supporting English language teachers and trainers at every stage of their ELT careers.  Together, NILE and Macmillan Education are preparing the teachers of today for the teaching of tomorrow.

NILE and Macmillan Education extended their collaboration in 2018 with the launch of  jointly developed programmes which support language teaching and learning worldwide. The partnership goes from strength to strength and both sides were delighted to renew their agreement in 2019.

These six-week courses are designed to develop the language skills of teachers who are teaching at primary or secondary school level. These courses teach the practical language teachers need in the classroom with a focus on best practice and peer-to-peer learning.

These courses also include six months of access to Macmillan English Campus with online activities chosen to practise the target language in each unit, plus access to a database of over 4000 practice activities. At the end of each unit, teachers apply what they have learned to real coursebook activities and contribute ideas to the class forum.

This course has been designed to support primary maths and science teachers whose learners’ first language may not be English. Teachers will develop the confidence and skills to deliver maths and science ideas and concepts in English in order to achieve the best learning outcomes for students.

The flexibility of the course allows participants to work at times that suit them, as well as choose different pathways within the course depending on whether they teach maths or science. The course can also be run as a blended or face-to-face course locally or in the UK.

Face-to-face courses

A range of two-week courses supports teachers who are looking to advance their careers by introducing key methodology concepts and providing practical skills for the classroom. 

Face-to-face Courses

Online

NILE's tutor-led, interactive courses provide flexibility to balance professional development and a full-time teaching schedule.

The eight-week courses are delivered on an innovative and easy-to-use online teaching platform. Cutting-edge digital tools allow teachers to interact with their tutor and other teachers around the world in a variety of ways. Learning is put into practical use through tutor-marked individual assignments at the end of the course.
