Three-city educator training programme equips teachers with practical strategies to improve healthcare English instruction and prepare professionals for global workforce demands
Occupational English Test (OET) conducted a three-city series of specialised Teacher Training Workshops across Kerala, aimed at enhancing educator capabilities and advancing healthcare English teaching practices.
The workshops were held in Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam and Kochi, bringing together more than 60 educators from educational institutions and coaching centres across Kerala and neighbouring regions.
Designed as a new-format training initiative, the programme focused on strengthening receptive language skills, particularly reading and listening, within healthcare-specific contexts.
Participants were introduced to updated teaching content, learner-centred methodologies and practical classroom techniques aimed at improving learner engagement and educational outcomes.
Unlike conventional teacher training programmes that focus primarily on test preparation, the workshops adopted an application-led approach.
Educators experienced lessons from the learner’s perspective, participated in live demonstrations and collaborated on lesson-design exercises intended to improve classroom effectiveness and learner outcomes.
Amit Upadhyay, Regional Director at OET, said, "These workshops are designed to equip educators with practical, modern teaching approaches that help learners build the confidence and competence required in real healthcare settings.”
“Kerala has long been a key contributor to the global healthcare workforce, and strengthening educator capability is essential in supporting future international pathways,” he added.
