How? • Experiencing the “QualiTraining” approach –
reflecting on our own context (as participants)• Reflecting on methodological aspects – e.g.
why these activities?• Reflecting on and discussing what could be of
interest, what would work in our own context (as leaders, trainers, facilitators…)

Questions for reflection:How to…• achieve consistency of approach in language
education in an institutional context? • involve teachers and students (who do not have
‘formal’ managerial responsibilities) in quality assurance processes?
• cater for differences of experience, needs, interests, differences in ‘cultural’ expectations, etc. ?
