Time for New Thinking about ELT in Latin America and Elsewhere
Davies, Paul John
L2 Journal, v13 n1 p82-90 2021
English Language Teaching (ELT) in Latin America and elsewhere in public schools and higher education and parts of the private sector has long been failing badly. The coronavirus pandemic should focus minds on changing that situation. Going back to Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) business as usual should not be an option. In this article areas where radical change is needed are discussed and ideas for change proposed.
