Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the background, design, implementation and impact of the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme of the EU-funded ENRICH Project, which ran from 2018 to 2021. The programme, which has been freely available online since January 2022 (http://enrichproject.eu), aims at implementing the principles and processes of ELF awareness in empowering English language teachers to integrate the role of English as a Lingua Franca in their multilingual classrooms. We begin by justifying the development of the ENRICH Project with reference to the policies of the European Union supporting multilingualism and go on to discuss the principles of ELF awareness that informed the ENRICH CPD programme. We also present the priorities, target groups, key objectives and innovative practices of the ENRICH CPD programme. The paper is rounded up with a sample of participants’ responses to certain CPD activities and with an appreciation of the impact of the programme on participant teachers and their learners.

培养英语教师和学习者的ELF意识：ENRICH项目持续专业发展计划的背景、设计和影响

摘要本文介绍了欧盟资助的ENRICH项目持续专业发展（CPD）计划的背景、设计、实施和影响，该计划于2018年至2021年实施。该节目自2022年1月起在网上免费提供(http://enrichproject.eu)，旨在实施ELF意识的原则和过程，使英语教师能够在多语言课堂上融入英语作为法语的角色。我们首先参照欧洲联盟支持使用多种语言的政策来证明ENRICH项目的发展，并继续讨论ENRICH CPD项目所依据的ELF意识原则。我们还介绍了ENRICH CPD计划的优先事项、目标群体、关键目标和创新做法。本文总结了参与者对某些CPD活动的反应样本，并对该计划对参与者教师及其学习者的影响进行了评估。
