BRITISH COUNCIL

The UK Ministry of Defence and the British Council are delighted to work in close partnership with the Indonesian National

Defence Forces Peace and Security Centre, The United States Department of Justice International Criminal Investigative

Training Assistance Program and the United States Department of State English Language Programs to bring the first ELT

Indonesia International Conference ‘English for Uniformed Forces’.

The UK is committed to increased international security and prosperity, and recognises the powerful role that English can

play in this field. This large gathering of Indonesian language professionals from all sections of the Military and the Police,

as well as experts from around the world demonstrates that this is a shared commitment. The ‘English for Uniformed

Forces’ international conference is an example of cultural relations working to bring together international partners from

different sectors for global benefit.

English plays a key role in international peace and security. On UN peacekeeping missions better language skills facilitates

more effective interoperability with other international forces, as well as enabling better communication with civilians,

especially women and children. An increased capacity in English helps national Police forces work more effectively across

borders, as well as at home when dealing with foreign nationals.

Together, through joint projects and partnerships such as this global conference, we can work best to develop the

linguistic skills of uniformed forces personnel serving at home and abroad. Improving language skills helps build greater

trust, understanding, peace and security across borders around the world. We warmly welcome you to the 1st ELT

Indonesia International Conference ‘English for Unformed Forces’.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE TRAINING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

As the world continues to shrink amid increasing globalization it becomes more crucial that a common language is in use by the security forces of each country. The business sector has identified English as that common language for its global operations. The same holds true for the United Nations peacekeeping operations. No country can overlook the importance of personal interaction and communications with its tourists, visiting business leaders, dignitaries, and educators. The common denominator in successful interactions and communications is language. The United States Department of Justice International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program is pleased to partner with the British Council, the United States Department of State English Language Programs, and the Ministry of Defence to bring you this first International Conference on English for Uniformed Forces. We welcome your participation in this conference and as a part of an ever-expanding network of English language professionals.

EDWARD ROUTHDeputy Director,United States Department of JusticeInternational Criminal InvestigativeTraining Assistance Program (ICITAP)Indonesia

US REGIONAL ENGLISH LANGUAGE OFFICER

The US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is pleased to be working jointly with British Council, the Department of Justice, the British Ministry of Defense and the American International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program to highlight this expanding field of security English. The US DoS recognizes the high-stakes role that English now plays in security, whether it be on the border between countries, on the front lines of a UN Mission, or in the sharing of crucial data to stop transnational crime. The US DoS English language projects that are currently at work in Peru, The Czech Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, and Indonesia aim at cooperating with local security agencies to create sustainable outcomes in materials creation and teacher development. The work in Indonesia, in particular, is viewed as a model for the rest of the world. The learning materials developed in concert with law enforcement experts, Indonesian language instructors, and visiting English Language Fellows are already being adapted to fit the local contexts and needs of other countries. We hope that this conference, with local and international English for police and military experts, will also be replicated in other regions to build a lasting network of professional development and resource sharing. We welcome you as participants and pioneers to this first-ever English for Uniformed Forces Conference.

Plenary Speakers – Day 1 – Wednesday 26 June

English for Global Cooperation in Counterinsurgency and Combating Terrorism: Two Case Studies Speaker: Peggy Garza (US)

Place: 12.00 – 13.00 The Auditorium - INDF Peace and Security Centre

Peggy Garza will explain the design, development, and delivery of the ESP courses for multinational security

professionals at the Marshall Center for Security Studies. The different phases of the course design, beginning

with the needs analysis followed by the formulation of course objectives; the development of the syllabus, and

the course implementation will be discussed. Peggy will describe consultations with subject matter experts aimed

at identifying the unique tasks and specialized terminology required for transnational work in countering terrorism and

illicit trafficking. She will share the ESP frameworks and authentic materials with workshop participants.

Peggy Garza is the Chair of English Language Programs at the Marshall Center for Security Studies in Germany.

She previously worked at the Defense Language Institute in Texas, USA. She has extensive experience in course

design and testing, and has been conducting workshops for NATO military English teachers for years.

Different Training Models and Methodology used in PEP - Case Study for Integrated TrainingSpeaker: Esther Hay (UK)


The Integrated Training Programme brought together cross sector and cross regional teams through integrated

training courses. These were designed for ministry personnel (B1 level) who were involved in international meetings

and negotiations and local teacher trainers. They were 2 week intensive courses that provided development in

professional skills and English language for the ministry participants and were delivered by trainee teacher

trainers under the supervision of experienced trainers as part of the cascade training programme and form a

model for cost effective targeted training and development.

Esther Hay (MA, BA) is currently the Resourcing Project Manager at the British Council, Manchester, reviewing

the resourcing needs and professional development for English & Exams in the global network. She is the former

Global Peacekeeping English Manager and Peacekeeping English Project Manager in Romania and Albania/

teacher training, testing, materials design, self-access learning and organising workshops and events. She has

worked in Africa, Europe and the Middle East and produced self-study materials on human rights issues with

CARE International.Day 110

Plenary Speakers – Day 1 – Wednesday 26 June

Military English - A World Englishes PerspectiveSpeaker: Dr. Hans-Georg Wolf (GER)


Due to the international contexts in which Military English (ME) is used, it can be argued that ME reflects World

Englishes (WE) en miniature. The complexities of ME usage by far go beyond the characteristics of other

specialized (and lexically restricted varieties), such as Aviation English, and require a broad and sociolinguistically

informed analysis. In my talk, I will systematize salient issues of the WE paradigm of relevance and in relation to

ME, specifically NATO-Standard STANAG 6001. Topics dealt with in greater detail will be the problem of finding

a norm or norms (i.e., should ME follow American English, British English, or a kind of Lingua Franca English,

which would abstract from native speaker models?), and the problem of intercultural communication. As regards

the latter, peacekeeping missions and multinational military cooperation require an intercultural competence that

involves more than mere pragma-linguistic knowledge. Supported by various examples, I will introduce cultural

linguistics as a vital approach for intercultural understanding in such contexts. My talk will close with a

consideration of the implementation of the discussed findings in curriculum design and teaching materials, and

the articulation of ME programs with national English language teaching curricula.

Dr. Hans-Georg Wolf holds the chair for Development and Variation of the English Language at Potsdam

University, Germany. Before relocating to Germany, he worked six years at The University of Hong Kong. His

research areas include sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, lexicography, and pragmatics. He

has published several books and numerous articles, most of which deals with various aspects of World Englishes,

specifically African Englishes and Hong Kong English. In particular, he is interested in phonetic, lexical and

lexicographic aspects as well as cultural issues related to English as a world language. His expertise in African

Englishes is regularly sought after in asylum and court proceedings.

Day 111

Plenary Speakers – Day 2 – Thursday, 27 June

To Serve and To Protect: International Police English and Tourism Speaker: Charles Hall (US)

Place: 09.30 – 10.15 Ballroom 1 – Novotel Bogor

As most of us know, ESP usually means English for Specific Purposes, but in this talk, it means English for Special Police. And, these special police are the officers who are tasked with serving and protecting international tourists, nationals who work with these tourists, and indeed the entire tourism industry. First, we’ll look at the challenges ESP teachers face as they work with tourist police. Then we will explore programs in two very different cities, Cusco, Peru, and Prague, the Czech Republic, to show how ESP instructors can overcome those challenges, learn from each other, share materials, and help their police truly become truly special.

Charles Hall, Ph.D., dr.h.c., is associate professor of applied linguistics at the University of Memphis and former chair of International TESOL ESP Interest Session. He has led training workshops sponsored by various organizations, such as the U.S. Department of State and the United Nations, in over 30 countries including Iraq and Sudan. He is author or co-author of several texts, such as American Legal English [University of Michigan Press]. He has been awarded two senior Fulbrights for the Czech Republic, where he has also directed a TEFL

training course each summer at the University of West Bohemia since 1990.

Seven Years with PEP in Romania - A Teacher’s PerspectiveSpeaker: Ileana Chersan (ROM)

Place: 10.30 – 11.15 Ballroom 1 – Novotel Bogor

Peacekeeping English Project in Romania, directed by Mark Roberts (2000-2003) and Esther Hay (2003-2007), was the one professional adventure in Police English training whose sound impact is still visible and thriving in areas such as material design, testing, ESP methodology and vocabulary. PEP met the Romanian police teachers of English in a moment of dire need, when the ESP background was at the grassroots, and stepped up its development in a consistent program for teachers (attendance to courses, conferences, material design, needs analysis, teacher certification, access to resources), course-takers (joint classes, British Council events, competition prizes) and beneficiaries (standardization across the country). What’s more, its legacy still sprouts benefits for teachers, course-takers and beneficiaries altogether, in that they continue to spread the word, share exploits, commit to professionalism, bridge gaps across cultures and bring the ESP worlds together. This presentation focuses on three chronological stages of professional development (before, during and after PEP) and the ESP key features assimilated, customized and used in Police English practice in Romania: fostering learner autonomy, cross-cultural awareness, group dynamics etc.

Ileana Chersan is currently a University Lecturer and teacher trainer at the Police Academy in Bucharest, where she has taught Police English, Legal English and English for History and Archives for the past 15 years. She holds a PhD in Linguistics awarded by the University of Bucharest; the doctoral thesis was called A social history of the English police vocabulary. Ileana Chersan also co-authored English for Law Enforcement, an internationally available course-book for law enforcement officers (Macmillan, 2009) and other similar books.Day 2

Developing a Pedagogy for English Teaching for Uniformed Forces

Elizabeth Thomson will moderate a dialogue session about practical teaching concerns present in Military and Police English language classrooms. The discussion will be centered on practical teaching concerns in the classroom of direct relevance to English teachers. For example: How is teaching English for uniformed forces different and or similar to teaching general English? What teaching methodology should I use in the classroom? What factors are unique to English classes for the Military and the Police? How are the language needs for the military and the police evolving? The session will end with questions from the audience.

Resolving Conflict via English: the British Council’s Peacekeeping English ProjectSpeakers Peter Hare (UK), Andy Keedwell (UK), Nicholas Fletcher (UK)

Place Room 1 - The Language Lab - INDF Peace and Security Centre (60)

This paper firstly will seek to give an overview of the British Council’s Peacekeeping English projects which have

run or are still running in 34 countries all over the world. It will outline a brief history of the projects, how they

were conceived, how they were funded, how they evolved and how they matured.

Secondly the paper will seek to show how the British Council’s approach to introducing effective English language

learning, teaching and testing systems in Ministries of Defence and in Ministries of the Interior around the world

differ from analogue systems introduced by US agencies.

Subsequently the paper will present four case studies of Peacekeeping English projects set up in Mongolia,

Colombia, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. The project was set up in Mongolia to enable the country to send military

units on UN peacekeeping missions around the world where the working language was English. The project was

set up in Colombia for the same reason but also to enable the Colombian armed forces to work effectively with

US agencies to counter the “narco-traficantes”. In Afghanistan, English language proficiency is essential for the

Afghan security forces to collaborate effectively with multinational partners while the Ethiopian armed forces

need English to work productively as African Union peacekeepers.

Lastly the paper will attempt to assess the impact of the Peacekeeping English projects in helping to defuse global

conflict using both quantitative and qualitative data.

Peter Hare manages the British Council Peacekeeping Project (PEP) in Ethiopia. He managed projects in Georgia

and Mongolia.

Andy Keedwell has worked with British Council for fifteen years, in regions including the South Caucasus,

‘Peacekeeper’ - Developing interactive digital training resourcesSpeaker Dr. Adrian Raper (UK) Place Room 2 - The Language Lab - INDF Peace and Security Centre (60)

In 2008 the British Council and Clarity set up a workshop to create interactive training materials for English for peacekeeping. This was attended by 20 Peacekeeping English Project managers from around the world. At this week-long session, the coverage of the resource was defined (Ethics and rights, Negotiation, Checkpoints, etc) and the managers created over a hundred video, audio and text-based activities. This content was refined, edited, and plugged into an existing technical infrastructure by Clarity. The resulting publication, Peacekeeper, runs online, through a VLE, on a LAN or a CD-Rom.

The first part of this session tells the story of the Peacekeeper project, highlighting the structures and processes that contributed to its success. The second part looks at how interactive content such as this can be created and updated - and how it can be broken apart and delivered in ways that are both innovative and accessible to learn ers.

Dr Adrian Raper is the Technical Director of Clarity English. For 20 years he has been directly responsible for creating and delivering some of the world’s best-selling ELT software titles. He was responsible for the technical and logistical elements of the Peacekeeper software project.

“Don’t shoot!” How self access English develops skills... and saves lives! Speaker Andrew Stokes (UK)


Producing the correct English at the right time is an essential skill for peacekeepers and requires study beyond the classroom.

It is easy for English program managers to install a range of ICT resources in a self access centre set up as part of the language provision for uniformed services. It is less easy to ensure they are used effectively and appropriately over the medium and long terms.

Clarity has been supplying software to British Council PEP self access centres since the 1990s, and has identified a number of key criteria which result in the success or otherwise of the resources:

1. making ICT both visible and accessible2. the importance of efficient training for teachers and students3. looking to the future: monitoring, maintaining and enhancing

There are many training programs where self access materials have retreated to the margins of English language provision. This session will outline how you can place them firmly centre-stage.Day 1

Teaching Military English at Korea Military Academy: Past, Present, and FutureSpeaker Major (Dr.) Dong-ha Seo (Korea)


This paper is designed to step back and review Korea Military Academy’s many years of teaching military English in order to identify current challenges, problems, and opportunity. Over the last 60 years our Korea Military Academy has proven itself in the most difficult environments it has ever faced. Our faculty and staff at every level have displayed unparalleled ingenuity and commitment. Our KMA alumni have displayed mental and physical toughness and courage under the difficult circumstances. In so doing, our Department of English has enabled our graduates in unprecedented fashion, especially during their mission of Combined Operations with the U.S military and Peacekeeping Operations around the world.

Having a plan for transition of wartime operational control from the U.S military by 2015, equipping our gradu-ates with English communication skills becomes more significant than ever before. In this time of transition, it is entirely appropriate that we pause to take stock of our overarching goal to teach military English: “to equip our cadets with effective English eloquence” for the purpose of successful combined operation with the U.S. military. This paper is help us recommit our English programmes taking a hard look at our educational philosophy, teaching and supporting programmes to ensure that we can meet the challenges we are facing.

Major Dong-ha Seo, Ph.D., is assistant professor of English at Korea Military Academy, where he is responsible for supervising Military English programme as well as War Literature for English Major cadets. He has extensive experience in teaching Military English, English literature, and working with foreign officers in the field. He is currently working on developing Military English teaching material and curriculum at the Academy.

English for Police Advisor in United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS)Speaker Eppy Dortua Setiawan Sinaga (Indonesia)


English is the universal language used by almost all peacekeepers on United Nations missions. Not only uniformed forces but also civilian and volunteers who work with the UN often use English to communicate on the missions. One of the UN missions that I already joined is UNMISS. I joined UNMISS on 2 April 2012 – 2 April 2013 as a Police Advisor or we called UNPOL (United Nations Police). In this talk I will discuss my role as an English for Police Advisor in UNMISS, because my mandate was to train, mentor and advise the SSNPS (South Sudan National Police Service). During my mission, I taught police science, English and computer to the SSNPS. Language sometimes can be a problem for Police Advisor to conduct UNMISS mandate because not all local police can speak English.

Eppy Dortua Setiawan Sinaga, a police woman living in Jakarta, works in the INP Language School as a mentor, teacher and also sub chief of students administration. She just finished her first UN mission in UNMISS (South Sudan) for one year as a Police Advisor. During her mission, she taught police science, English and computer skills to the SSNPS (South Sudan National Police Science). She also joined the Middle Management Course in Vicenza, Italy in 2009 and a comparison study program in Beijing, China in 2010.Day 1

EGAP and ESAP: Which One is More Suitable?Speaker Sisilia Halimi (Indonesia)

Place Ballroom 1 - Novotel Bogor (60)

An awareness of the distinction between English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) and English for Specific Purposes (ESAP) is crucial to a full understanding of EAP (Blue, 1988a). EGAP refers to the teaching of the skills and language that are common to all disciplines and ESAP refers to the teaching of the features that distinguish one discipline from others (Dudley-Evans and St. John, 1998). This study aims to propose a new program for improving the quality of English subject for the postgraduate students of Police Science Students in the University of Indonesia. The question to answer is would it be possible to teach an ESAP course to this group of students? For this purpose a thorough evaluation of the existing program will be conducted. This includes evaluation on the documents and materials related to the existing program, analysis of participants’ level of English proficiency, reflection of the teaching and learning process in the classroom, interviews with the Head of the Program and students and a survey of students’ opinions about the existing program.

We learn best by doing, but even better through the combination of action, interaction, speech and writing, taking advantage of new technologies and combining knowledge with past experience and involvement of all senses. When we begin to understand the workings of the mind, we can organize our classrooms in a way that is conducive to boosting brain power. We will examine the ‘Brain Rules’ explained by John Medina and see how they can be meaningfully and usefully applied to the modern EFL classroom

By the end of this workshop, participants will have considered the challenges and opportunities presented by low-resource environments. The workshop will be largely scenario-based, and will require participants to engage and interact not only with the content, but also with other participants through a process of experiential learning. Participants will experiment with adapting course book material, classroom activities and homework assignments in order to make the more accessible and achievable for these contexts. Participants will be equipped with a set of approaches to adapting material and activities for practical application that will be of immediate value to their teaching and to their learners.

A Programme of Teacher and Partner Support During and After a ProjectSpeakers Peter Hare (UK), Andy Keedwell (UK) & Dawit Assefa Wassihun (Ethiopia)

Place Krakatau - Novotel Bogor (35)

Peacekeeping English projects have all confronted the need for teacher and partner development within the context of Military English using the resources and equipment which they provide.

Investigating the Ethiopia project that started in 2008, the presenters identify a process of teacher development as a journey with a number of clearly defined transition points at which teacher awareness and beliefs change and influence classroom practice. Such points include initial training prior to the project, training during it, exploiting self-access centres and working with a proficiency rather than an achievement based testing system.

A parallel journey involves developing a system of management whereby the local partner has taken responsibility before handover takes place. Project providers have a responsibility to ensure that professional development occurs in a way that benefits all stakeholders.

This presentation attempts to chart a course of partner and teacher development that is realistic and of benefit to participants.

Peter Hare manages the British Council Peacekeeping Project (PEP) in Ethiopia. He managed projects in Georgia and Mongolia.

Andy Keedwell has worked with British Council for fifteen years, in regions including the South Caucasus, Middle East and the Horn of Africa and has been involved with English for the military in Azerbaijan, Albania and Macedonia, Ethiopia and currently at British Council Afghanistan as Head of Teacher Development.

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER CONTRIBUTIONS

Defence forces around the world are recognising the benefits of targeting language training courses to workplace needs, particularly the needs of coalition contexts where specific, technical language is critical for mission success.

As a consequence, interesting research and educational work is being done in Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) for mil-itary contexts. The approach of offering general language training that relies on the individual to adapt what they know to a military context is being replaced by targeted language training based on research into the language of defence contexts and tasks. With military budgets under stress, the cost-benefits of targeted approaches are being recognised and LSP for defence language training is gaining prominence worldwide.

It is within this context that Elizabeth Thomson and Helen de Silva Joyce are calling for papers for an edited publication on Language for Defence Purposes. The book will focus on work in English and Languages other than English (LOTE) from around the world within the following themes:1 Researching Language for Defence Purposes (LDP) Discourse analysis Needs analysis2 Language for Defence Purposes courses Course design and development Course evaluation Assessment3 Pedagogy4 Identity, interculturality and Language for Defence Purposes

NOTE Chapters on other themes related to Language for Defence Purposes will also be considered. Chapter word limit – 4000 - 6000 wordsExpression of interest – Please contact us at the email addresses below if you would like to submit a chapter.Final submission – Final chapters must be submitted by July 31 2013.

We look forward to hearing from you.Elizabeth Thomson2013 Secretary of Defence Fellow Defence Learning BranchDepartment of Defence & Adjunct Associate ProfessorUniversity of Canberra, ACT [email protected]
