Since 2010, ELCOT Consultants has been providing professional support to  English Language Departments by facilitating & conducting the PLC sessions (Professional Learning Circles) focussing on testing and teaching methodology. These sessions provide teachers with follow-up hands-on   training to further cement the many techniques and skills outlined in the various Teacher Workshops conducted by Dr.Benjamin. In addition, these sessions provide support to English Language teachers  with theoretical and pedagogical input on methodology, material design and language teaching research theory to enhance teacher content knowledge on the teaching and testing of reading comprehension skills.

Additional consulting services to schools include designing and vetting of 'O' Level format test papers to ensure that they are pitched correctly and have a high validity and reliability as testing instruments.

Tailor-made PLC sessions for  English Language Departments are also offered to empower the staff to boost their skill sets such as designing specialised remediation resources.

Long-term PLC action-research projects are also available for niche requirements for EL departments such as designing comprehensive feedback systems to provide students with a more comprehensive level of information on flaws in their technique that resulted in incorrect answers to reading comprehension questions.

Please see the panel on the right for the 9 areas of PLC being offered currently.
