The Tangshan In Class Language Effectiveness (TILE) pilot project addresses a critical challenge in Chinese Junior High School English education: while teachers often possess adequate English language knowledge, many lack confidence in actively using English for classroom management and activities. This British Council-funded collaboration between NILE (Norwich Institute for Language Education) and the Teaching Research Institute of Tangshan Education Bureau has demonstrated remarkable success in helping teachers activate their existing English language capabilities.
