Participants are 50 Chinese nationals who are elementary school (years Reception to 6) teachers of English. As the study progresses into the next phase of observations and interviews, more information will become available on the efficacy of interventions such as instruction in principles and methodologies for FL teacher development on the learning outcomes in their classrooms.
