Pulling out of a project: twelve tips for project planners

Paul Woods

Paul Woods began his ESL career in Nigeria and Brunei. After completing his MSc in Applied Linguistics at Edinburgh in 1977, he worked as a British Council KELT lecturer at primary teacher-training colleges in Tanzania and Sierra Leone. He was professional coordinator of the Sierra Leone KELT Project from 1984-7, and last year joined the British Council's Overseas Career Service. He is co-author with R. Hicks of English for Teachers, especially written for trainee teachers in Africa and recently published by Longman.

This article considers some of the problems inherent in language-teaching projects, particularly in the Third World, which rely heavily on external funding and expatriate personnel. Various strategies are suggested to help ensure that innovative ideas and approaches continue to develop well beyond the withdrawal of external human and financial resources.
