The Center has a hiring policy that is not based on the native English speaking norm. As a result, the Center has welcomed a diverse mix of teachers from different cultural and language backgrounds (e.g., Bulgaria, Brazil, Finland, Macedonia, Ukraine, Thailand, The Philippines) who bring rich authentic ELF resources and enhance the first-hand ELF-communication experience for our students. In this report, we describe the different faculty training and development initiatives aimed at promoting effective instruction in our ELF classes. This will be followed by a detailed report on the center’s research achievements in the 2018 academic year.}, pages = {54--82}, title = {A Report on Faculty Development and Research at the Center for English as a Lingua Franca}, volume = {5}, year = {2019} }
