This course aims:

•  to address the needs of teachers with different first languages and those working in a variety of context.

Top five applications will then be submitted to Bell Centre for final selection and name of the candidate who will be selected for the course will be announced. Please be reminded that it is not NELTA who will make the final selection. NELTA will only facilitate the process.
