English Without Borders (EWB), a project funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tajikistan and implemented by the PO “Durakhshi Marifat”, was officially launched on March 1, 2021. As the first and largest network for English teachers in Tajikistan, EWB embraces all the regions in the country through its regional representatives who provide support to the English teaching community in their regions.

EWB is a pioneer in the field of development and research in English teaching and learning in Tajikistan that has opened new areas and created new platforms to support English teachers and learners.

• The first website, mobile application, and newsletter designed for English teachers and learners include a wide range of audio, video, and print materials and resources to use in EL classrooms.
• EWB was also the first in Tajikistan to create weekly webinars for English teachers where the speakers, English language specialists, come from different parts of the world such as the U.S., Russia, El Salvador, Hungary, Tajikistan etc. Moreover, the EWB Thursday webinars are not only joined by English teachers from Tajikistan but from around the world.
• Besides online and digital resources, EWB offers small grants for English teacher trainers to conduct in-person professional development sessions for English teachers in cities, villages, and regions.
• The four EWB regional representatives conduct weekly informational sessions about the EWB network at different schools and universities, provide teacher training, and facilitate English conversation clubs at local American Spaces both for English teachers and learners in their regions.
• The first two-day national conference and expo for English teachers provides a great platform for English teachers and leaders in English schools, institutions, and departments to network, share knowledge and experiences, and develop new relationships.
