English in Action is a major DfID-funded programme initiated by the Government of Bangladesh. The OU is working together with BMB Mott MacDonald, BBC World Service Trust and local partners to improve English language skills for 25 million people in Bangladesh.
The OU is leading in two areas of the project:
• Primary and secondary teacher training delivered through school-based professional development, enhanced with mobile technologies, including mobile phones
• Cross-project research, monitoring and quality assurance
Following a successful initial phase from 2008, a further three-year contract for EiA was signed in 2011.
