All the
English language teachers participating in ELCE-II /Cycle 1 were invited to
send lesson plans and supplementary materials to ELCE-II staff, who then posted
the materials to the ELCE program blog (www.elce-online.com).
February 28 was set as a deadline for lesson plan submission and all the
in-service and pre-service teachers participating in the program were
encouraged to rate the lesson plans of their colleagues and peers. Thirty alumni
of the U.S. Embassy Funded Training of Trainers Summer Institute (TOTSI) from the
Intensive Course of Teachers of English (ICTE) program were also invited to
rate the competition materials.
Twenty-eight
teachers (16 from Tbilisi and 12 from Samtskhe-Javakheti) participated in the
competition and submitted a total of 41 lesson plans that have been posted to
