Framework a blueprint for BRI English education

A development framework for English educators in countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative was released at the 2025 Global English Education China Assembly on Friday.

The Professional Development Framework for English Educators in BRI Nations, released by the Belt and Road Languages and Cultures Network, aims to guide various aspects of global English language education, including teacher training, teacher research and teacher quality assessment.

The network has been established by China Daily and 60 language teaching associations and higher education institutions from more than 50 countries to enhance alignment between China's language education policies and those of BRI countries and regions.
