They include descriptions of sessions on the development of ELT projects; a presentation on a project in Oman using a recommended format; a case study simulation using that format; actual case studies for Ghana, Indonesia, Mali, Tanzania, and Yemen; discussions of professional issues, including the role of language in the general curriculum, the nature of evaluation to indicate achievement, project monitoring and evaluation, a Yemen textbook project evaluation, English as an international language, use of genre to teach English for special purposes; and language across the curriculum. Finally there are reports on additional topics and projects, including computer applications, the role of English-as-a-Second-Language training in three countries (Kenya, West Africa, Oman), authentic video materials in ELT, teaching and learning in context, and the relationships between project host institutions, the British Council, and the British government agency for overseas development.
