English Language Training for Islamic Schools (
ELTIS)
aimed to develop the English language expertise and teaching capabilities of 750
Madrasah
Tsanawiyah (Islamic Junior secondary school) teachers from East Java, Madura,
NTB and
South Sulawesi, as well as strengthen the capacity of partner tertiary institutions to design, manage and deliver
in-service English language and teacher training, and strengthen district support networks.
ELTIS worked with three Islamic universities (

Ampel Surabaya, IAIN Mataram and STAIN Watampone, Bone). These partner Islamic tertiary education institutions in
turn deliver English Language Upgrading (
