Leadership : Mind Your Language, defining your Department's Mission

 

Defining your department or section`s Mission, Purpose, Objectives and Organising Principles.

An important consideration for Heads of Department, Academic Directors, Heads of School and Board members. Essentially no schools in Chile have defined their "Englishness", and many if not most use terms such as E2L, EFL and bilingual freely, loosely and interchangeably. Defining "who we are and what business we are in" affects and determines the role and profile of English the school, the programme, contents and methodologies, evaluation, staff selection, publications - everything in fact!
