U.S. and Pakistan Give the English Classroom a 21st Century Update

Karachi – January 18, 2020: The U.S. Consulate in Karachi welcomed English language professionals and
university students to the English Language Expo 2020, focusing on “Digital Innovations in English
Language Teaching and Learning” held at Greenwich University. The event promotes 21st Century
educational tools and techniques, emphasizes the importance of digitalization in teaching, and provides
networking opportunities for English language teachers.

U.S. Embassy Regional English Language Officer Jerrold Frank opened the event, saying “U.S. English
Language Programs are so much more than simply helping Pakistanis improve their English language
skills. Our programs build capacity, create opportunity, and connect Pakistanis to a wider global
community. We see evidence of the impact of our programs here at the English Language Expo 2020:
dedicated professionals demonstrating not only what they have learned, but also sharing how this
knowledge can be applied practically with their peers in the Pakistani English language teaching
community. It’s inspiring!”

Participants were able to experience over 30 workshops, presentations, and panel discussions by
experienced alumni of U.S. English teaching programs from across Pakistan. Subjects included the
impact of Facebook on writing skills and teaching in multilingual contexts. American officials from the
U.S. Consulate Karachi also lead sessions on a variety of subjects from presentation skills to the effect of
technology on how students learn.

U.S. Mission to Pakistan English language programs reach thousands of Pakistani students and teachers
each year and offer opportunities for economic advancement and empowerment.
