To help the trainers get to know each other, and to start building team work, the whole group went to the Botanical Gardens in Bedugul for some team building activities. After a visit to Pura Ulun Danu, and a picnic lunch together, the whole team had fun taking part in games, including an Egg and Spoon Race, Pictionary and a Tug of War.

ELTIS Training Team

‘Cohort 1’, now back at work in their schools in East Java and Lombok.

Meet the ELTIS Training Team members. They have been mainly selected from within the Islamic education sub-sector and consist of lecturers from ELTIS's two key partner institutions, IAIN Surabaya and IAIN Mataram, as well as instructors from a variety of private Islamic tertiary institutions and senior teachers from within the Islamic school system.

One key uniting factor is that all team members have a firm understanding of the sector in which they work, and indeed many of them are products of the Islamic junior, secondary and tertiary education system. The ELTIS Training Team are philosophically and practically dedicated to communicative and student-centred English language teaching. They will be responsible for delivering the English Language Upgrading (ELU) and Communicative English Language Teacher Training (CELTT) courses for MTs English language teachers, commencing early 2008.
