Our Partnership with NILE
Macmillan Education and Norwich Institute for Language Education have been working together since 2016 to develop and promote quality teacher education programmes worldwide.
NILE is a world-leading centre of excellence in the provision of teacher development courses, supporting English language teachers and trainers at every stage of their ELT careers. Together, NILE and Macmillan Education are preparing the teachers of today for the teaching of tomorrow.
NILE and Macmillan Education extended their collaboration in 2018 with the launch of jointly developed programmes which support language teaching and learning worldwide. The partnership goes from strength to strength and both sides were delighted to renew their agreement.

Face-to-face courses
Taught by experts in their fields, these face-to-face courses feature regular guest speakers and are held at the Institute in Norwich. A range of two-week courses supports teachers who are looking to advance their careers by introducing key methodology concepts and providing practical skills for the classroom.
Online
NILE's tutor-led, interactive courses provide flexibility to balance professional development and a full-time teaching schedule.
The eight-week courses are delivered on an innovative and easy-to-use online teaching platform. Cutting-edge digital tools allow teachers to interact with their tutor and other teachers around the world in a variety of ways. Learning is put into practical use through tutor-marked individual assignments at the end of the course.
These courses add the flexibility of online learning to the elements of NILE's face-to-face courses that participants appreciate most: collaboration, relevance and engagement.
Certified courses
From initial teacher training to a postgraduate programme for ELT professionals, NILE offers CELTA, DELTA and MA programmes to support teachers throughout their careers.
