The British Council has collated clarification questions and responses to address common concerns that UK suppliers may have in preparation for the Request for Proposal (RFP) response. Please go to the ‘Downloads’ list to access this additional document.
The British Council China English Programmes team are seeking costed proposals from a single UK supplier/organisation that can support digital training delivery and detailed monitoring of the Tangshan In Class Language Effectiveness (TILE) project focusing on supporting more effective English teacher English classroom language use. This project is aligned with identified English teacher needs in China (Borg et al, 2022) and has been identified as a required need by local partners. The TILE project is a partnership between the British Council China and Teaching Research Institute of Tangshan Education Bureau, with the selected UK provider acting as the designated delivery partner. The project will last for approximately 18 weeks from 19 Feb 2024 – 21 June 2024. There may be some flexibility in this date to extend by 2-3 weeks, should the UK applicant request it.
The TILE project will primarily focus on improving teacher confidence and effectiveness in using English as a tool to support learning in their English language classrooms. The main source of participant teacher input will be the asynchronous British Council In Class online platform with the UK partner being primarily responsible for monitoring, guiding classroom assessment and providing support for the local Lead Teachers who are in direct contact with teacher participants.
