Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice are a valuable source of collaborative professional development as they offer English Language Teaching (ELT) professionals a supportive environment to share knowledge and build better practices. They provide a rich resource of knowledge, experience and expertise in order to achieve common goals, solve common problems and learn from one another to advance and grow.
“Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly”. Wenger, E, (1998) Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity. Cambridge University Press.
