With funding and organizational support from U. S. Embassy Chisinau, Moldova's Association of English Teachers (APLE) organized the second Conference of the National Curriculum Revision Project on December 26-29, 2006. Over 50 English teachers--representing most of Moldova's raions--attended the event. During ten different workshops teachers examined new methods and techniques for teaching English. The APAO, English Language Fellow (ELF), and members of the Curriculum Team all made presentations on how to diversify teaching methods in high school classrooms.

Results: The teachers praised their experience, expressing hope that all teachers from Moldova will have a chance to strengthen their knowledge on implementing new curriculum in their classrooms.
