Transforming English Language Education in the Republic of Moldova

Langly, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Research of the Republic of Moldova and the Future Technologies Activity, supported by USAID, the Embassy of Sweden in Chisinau, and the British Embassy in Chisinau, is launching a groundbreaking initiative to transform English language education in Moldova. This pilot program, executed by the National Center for Digital Innovations in Education – Clasa Viitorului, aims to revolutionize how English is taught and learned in Moldovan schools.

The initiative focuses on 5th and 6th-grade students, introducing Langly’s cutting-edge digital solution, which combines gamification and social-emotional learning techniques. This innovative approach makes the learning process more interactive, motivating, and aligned with the needs of today’s students, fostering a love for language learning through engaging digital experiences.

Langly's platform offers a variety of interactive exercises, games, and activities that make learning English fun and engaging. By incorporating social-emotional learning principles, the platform also helps students develop essential skills like collaboration, communication, and self-awareness.

The program will select 40 English teachers from across Moldova to participate in this exciting pilot. These educators will gain free access to Langly’s digital solution, including dedicated accounts for both teachers and students, empowering them with the tools and resources needed to create dynamic and effective learning environments.

Throughout the pilot, participants will receive specialized training on how to apply modern, interactive teaching strategies using Langly’s platform. This comprehensive training will equip teachers with the skills and knowledge to maximize the platform's potential and effectively integrate it into their teaching practices. Ongoing support will also be provided during the implementation phase to ensure a smooth and successful integration of the new technology.

By taking part in this initiative, teachers will become integral members of a vibrant and forward-thinking community of educators dedicated to driving the evolution of English language teaching in Moldova. This program offers an invaluable opportunity to not only enhance their professional skills and expand their pedagogical toolkit but also to inspire students through dynamic and innovative teaching methods. Ultimately, participating teachers will play a crucial role in contributing to the modernization of education in the country and shaping the future of language learning.

The pilot program, scheduled to run during the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year, will provide students with a fresh, interactive, and engaging way to learn English. By leveraging technology and innovative teaching approaches, this initiative aims to cultivate a lifelong love of language learning in students and equip them with the essential communication skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world. This collaborative effort between Langly, the Ministry of Education and Research, and international partners signifies a major commitment to investing in the future of Moldova's youth and fostering educational excellence.
