PIMD’s latest training course introduces important language concepts for language teachers and demonstrates how to teach phonemic awareness and phonics for English in Grades 1 and 2. In 2020 we piloted an online version of our training for 150 teachers from Lotus Program Schools. This year we opened up the training to any interested teacher in Sri Lanka and 400 teachers signed up for the 8 week course! This is a milestone for our online training initiative which we hope to expand further in 2022.
