How does Globe work?
The 3 Globe zones are arranged around the Globe hub – which opens communication and collaboration between the stages.
In addition to the 3 Globe zones, there’s a wiki and a co-constructed resource database
The Generator
The Generator is where initiatives form and develop, resources are worked on and resulting projects defined and designed.
Step 1The Sandbox
The Sandbox is a testing ground for members’ new ideas and products. Share drafts of courses, activities, books, or other products and receive feedback from the Globe community.
Step 2The Transformer
The Transformer takes these ideas and helps members to make them commercially viable.
After testing, TransformELT can help market these ideas to the public, or broker a licensing or publishing deal. This can provide a path for members to generate income from their ideas. We also provide a Moodle platform to help members build and deliver their teacher and language courses

What are some examples of the PLCs Globe has to offer?

Leadership & Management PLC
We're coming together to share, test and debate ideas, processes, procedures and practices connected to how we lead and manage our teams and institutions in ELT. It's a safe space for you to test the boundaries a little and discover what's possible in a new post-Covid world!

LGBTQIA+ Issues PLC
This space is dedicated to engaging with the diversity of sexual, gender and body identities (LGBTIQA+) in English Language Teaching. At the same time, the purpose of this space is to identify, and move beyond, heteronormative practices in ELT.

Young Learners PLC
We are here to share our passion, experience and understanding of all things Young Learner from inside, outside and around the classroom.

Developing Autonomy PLC
The discussion on the place of autonomy in language learning and teaching has been brought into stark relief by the coronavirus pandemic. In this Professional Learning Community, we explore these issues, how they are developing as we learn more, how we can foster autonomy in our local contexts, and how we can distil what we are learning and share it with the wider ELT community in meaningful ways.

Materials & Resources Development PLC
This is the PLC where we explore everything and anything to do with creating, adapting, using, analyzing and evaluating materials and resources.

Teaching & Training with Technology PLC
This PLC shows how to use technology in constructive ways within teaching and training.

Training Processes
This professional learning community - mentored by Alan Pulverness - is a forum for trainers to share ideas on process options in teacher training and/or trainer training. The focus is on ways of training, with emphasis on the training process rather than specific content.

Sustainability in ELT
The purpose of this professional learning community - mentored by Ginny Rowlands - is to come together to share ideas on sustainability in ELT.

Corpa in Language Teaching
In this professional learning community, we explore how corpora are used and could be used in language teaching. The multinational community of members works together on projects that are a vehicle for sharing knowledge and experiences and for learning from each other.
