Is this an “all or nothing” framework, or can I start with just a few additional activities?

We encourage institutions to ultimately adopt the Framework for English Teaching in Higher Education in Israel as a whole. However, change is a process and should be instituted in stages.

A recommended first step is to have department heads and/or a representative from your institution participate in the online professional development course provided by ECOSTAR. The participants will then be able to train members of their own departments, and access to the online course will be available to their respective institutions. At the same time, individual support and assistance will be offered by ECOSTAR members.

You may also consider piloting new courses and materials first, to review and evaluate, and we will be happy to help – please contact Dr. Ingrid Barth at ecostar@mail.iucc.ac.il.
