Ceibal English project overview
• In 2012 the British Council was selected by Plan Ceibal to
project manage Ceibal en Inglés (Ceibal English), delivering
remote teaching via video conferencing in Uruguayan primary
schools.
• Goal = provide access to English language learning to primary
students (grades 4-6) and their teachers all over Uruguay.
• Because of a lack of trained/qualified English teachers, Ceibal
English uses remote teachers (RTs) via video conferencing
• Additionally, classroom teachers (CTs) are taught English via
moderator-supported English course (LearnEnglish Pathways)
http://uruguay.britishcouncil.org/en/ceibal-en-ingles
