The Ateneo Center for English Language Teaching (ACELT), founded on 27 March 1981, is an outreach center of the English Department of the School of Humanities, Ateneo de Manila University. Its primary mission is to equip or retool, and support English language teachers inside and outside the Philippines.
ACELT aims to upgrade the standards in English language and literature education in the country and its neighboring countries by providing primary, secondary, tertiary teachers, teacher trainers, and educational and school leaders with programs that are based on contextualized approaches to English language teaching, which are anchored on current pedagogical issues and developments in the use of English in the country and the region.
Our programs are designed for teachers of English in multilingual settings. They come to us to develop an expertise in teaching and training in the different language skills, as well as in managing and implementing language programs both in the face-to-face and online platforms.
