The Society of Pakistan English Teachers (SPELT) has turned 36 years old. A virtual panel discussion on this occasion was held on Saturday titled, âTeaching and Researching English in Difficult Circumstancesâ.
The panel discussion was based on two books: Research on Teaching and Learning English in Under-Resourced Contexts and International Perspectives on Teaching English in Difficult Circumstances.
In spite of the pandemic that affected all facets of life, including education, SPELT continued its commitment to train the trainers as it has been doing so since 1984.
Prof Dr Fauzia Shamim, founding member of SPELT and dean of faculty of liberal arts at the Ziauddin University, shared holistic practitioner and research-based perspective on English language teaching (ELT) and teacher education in difficult circumstances.
