Teachers Helping Teachers/the Philippines, August, 2008

Teachers helping Teachers (THT) is a grassroots organization founded by members of the Himeji City Chapter of JALT (the Japanese Association of Language Teachers) in 2004. THT is dedicated to the aid and assistance of fellow educators and students in the developing nations of the Asia Pacific region.  We fulfill this mission by providing teacher-training workshops that exhibit practical, student and teacher friendly approaches to English education that are informed by current research in the field.

Since inception, we have given well-received seminars in Bangladesh (in 2005, 2006, and 2007) and Vietnam (2006, 2007, and 2008) and Laos (2007 and 2008), and the Philippines (2008).

We have had presenters from Europe, North America, Australia, South America, and, Asia whose native languages have been English, German, Spanish, and Japanese.  Anyone interested in volunteering to present at our upcoming seminars is invited to submit proposals for evaluation and acceptance.            

Applicants are expected to possess post-graduate degrees with experience in giving presentations at international or national conferences.  Elementary, Junior High, High School, and University level teachers are encouraged to apply. 

We currently are receiving proposals for our 2009 programs in the Philippines, Laos, and Vietnam (Bangladesh is still being arranged).  The proposal submission form is on this website (see the navigation bar above left to find the page).

Proposals, questions, comments should be addressed to Pat Dougherty at these e-mail addresses:  pdougherty@shse.u-hyogo.ac.jp  (and) ct180@hotmail.com.
