The British Council has produced a series of short evidence-based ‘How to’ guides for individuals and institutions who have a stake in designing and delivering professional development opportunities for English language teachers. These short guides provide a series of practical recommendations and a list of key associated research sources designed to inform the organisation of professional development programmes and interventions for practising English language teachers. They also serve as self-access guides for teachers who are enrolling on formal professional development programmes or pursuing self-directed professional learning. The guides are hosted on the British Council’s TeachingEnglish website and complement the existing global and regional larger-scale research that provides the evidence base for what works in the teaching, learning and assessment of English.
