Africa ELTA Open Educational Resources (OER) Mentoring Program 

As part of our continuous effort towards diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, Africa ELTA Board is pleased to announce re-launching this project for creating open educational resources (Africa ELTA OER) on the Africa ELTA website. The purpose of this project is to store and distribute free open-access instructional materials and make them available for Africa ELTA members and the wider international ELT community. This program is for helping teachers turn a lesson they have created or any ELT-related materials they have developed into an open educational resource that anyone could use following the international OER criteria which will be shared during the program. It is not for training teachers on creating lesson plans. Accepted teachers/mentees must have good knowledge of how to develop materials. 

The call for applications is now OPEN for all Africa ELTA members. To apply, fill out this application form on this link by April 25, 2025.

The Program

This program mentors and supports Africa ELTA members to create and publish their instructional and ELT-related materials as open educational resources on the Africa ELTA website. The program is a 6 month project where mentors and mentees work together so the teacher/mentee can prepare the final OER for publication on the Africa ELTA website. The guidelines for OER submission that all accepted mentees will have to consider are HERE
