Finally! In March 2010, MOE had announced the setting up of the English Language Institute of Singapore (ELIS) in 2011 and as per their plans they launched it last week. The English Language Institute of Singapore will provide teacher training and consultancy services to schools on the teaching of English. ELIS hopes to do this by promoting innovative ideas in English Language teaching strategies and supporting schools in deepening teacher capability in EL teaching. The longer term aim of ELIS is to become a Centre of Excellence for the teaching of EL in Asia and beyond. We at Grammar Grabber wish ELIS every success in its endeavor.
