Welcome
Welcome to the Teacher Training blog of Michelle Carreiro
I arrived in Lahore, Pakistan in January 2006 after completing my degree in Linguistics & Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. Little did I know that over two years later I'd still be here and involved in teacher training in Lahore.
This blog is to let teachers, language students, educators and administrators know about current workshop offerings happening in and around Lahore. As my background is in linguistics and TEFL (TESOL/TESL), my specialization is English Language Education.
Future workshops can be set up through the Ali Institute of Education.
