In 2019, ICTE delivered a customised English & Methodology for TESOL Purposes (EMTP) program for 20 Taiwanese high school English teachers in collaboration with National Taiwan Normal University. The program aimed to develop participants’ communicative competence in English and teaching skills for TESOL contexts. As part of this customised EMTP program, the participants completed a series of workshops focused on developing Action Research projects for their classrooms in Taiwan.
