A Toolbox for College EFL Program DesignV. Teacher Support and Curriculum RevisionFinally, an EFL Language Program should have room for teacher support and ongoing curriculum revision. Generally, the curriculum should incorporate new technologies such as the internet, as well as current language teaching methodology. From our experience, teacher support should include easy access to materials, to computers and internet accounts, and to the purchase of texts and videos for teachers' use. We also provide office space, and lockers.From personal experience, socializing with part-time teachers should not be overlooked because it is vital in an effective program. This includes forming relationships where part-time teachers feel secure enough to criticize parts of the program and suggest alternative approaches. Furthermore, the orientation and meetings throughout the year help us generate new ideas, review and modify our curriculum. "Involve all the participants in the process of curriculum development," wrote Brown in The Elements of a Language Curriculum, and "remember that much more can be accomplished through discussion and compromise than through dictated policy decisions and inflexibility" (p. 190). |
