NETRUZ has launched the 2nd exploratory action research training for teachers of Uzbekistan. This training helps teachers learn how to explore their classrooms, identify challenges or successful practices, gain evidence to inform their further actions and bring change into their classrooms. It is good to see that the NETRUZ community is growing and the new leaders are taking the initiative to lead more trainings. NETRUZ is happy to announce the new Project Lead: Ella Maksakova.
Ella Maksakova has been in ELT
for more than 10 years. Ella has got her MA in TESOL from Webster
University. Currently, she is working as
a teacher of EAP for an undergraduate program and as a teacher trainer for MA
TESOL program at Webster University in Uzbekistan. In 2021 Ella joined a growing community of
teacher researchers “NETRUZ” (Network of English Teacher Researchers of
Uzbekistan) and one year later became a mentor. She contributed to the
publication of the book about Uzbekistan teacher- researchers journey as a
coeditor and a co-author. In March 2023 Ella became a project lead for the
current cohort of local teacher researchers organized under the NETRUZ
community. Her current research interests are teachers’ professional
development, reflective teaching, and vocabulary learning strategies.
Also, NETRUZ is happy to have more mentors on board for the second round of exploratory action research training.
More information about the NETRUZ new Champion teachers will be posted later. We, NETRUZ, believe in the continuous professional development of teachers.
