Nepal and South Asia English language teachers and education specialists are all encouraged to participate in the South Asia TeachingEnglish Online Conference 2025, a complimentary three-day online conference organized by the British Council on July 17 to 19.
With the theme of 'Supporting Teachers' Professional Development', the conference will have nine sessions and three panel discussions led by experts. It will provide primary and secondary school teachers with practical means to support their classroom in inclusive education, integration of 21st-century skills, and the harnessing of digital technology and AI.
The event will tackle how English teaching can be made more inclusive to make all learners feel valued; how to incorporate critical thinking, collaboration, and global citizenship into the lesson plans; and how AI and digital tools can be used to support classroom learning.
Global speakers from Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the UK, and Greece will contribute decades of experience in teaching, research, and educational innovation to the conference. Their presentations are designed to address the regional challenges and realities confronting South Asian educators.
"Innovative change does not come from tools themselves, but from empathy, self-reflection, and dedication to engaging all learners", said Sarah Rogerson, British Council South Asia Director of English and School Education.
Among the speakers of Nepali are Deepak Majhi, CEHRD's Inclusive Education Officer, and Dhak Bahadur Pun, a secondary school teacher and British Council Core Skills Educator. They will provide insights into incorporating inclusive practices and soft skills into teaching English.
Other speakers of note are Emily Bryson (UK), author of inclusive and innovative classroom practices; Joe Dale (UK), AI and edtech expert; and Dr. Bimali Indrarathne (Sri Lanka), dyslexia and inclusive ELT specialist.
Participants will have e-certificates for each session they participate in. The conference is available to all teachers, and registration is free on the official British Council website.
