The guide introduces the aims of Strand 1, explains the mini-project pathways and implementation process, and outlines the support available throughout the project. As you read the guide, begin thinking about a mini-project that could make a meaningful contribution to your teaching, department, or institution. Consider the needs of your students, colleagues, or university, and reflect on how you could build on the knowledge and skills gained through AELLCA I and AELLCA II phases. Please make a note of any questions, ideas, or areas that you would like to discuss during our first project meeting. This will help us ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of the project and can begin planning their mini-project with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/englishincentralasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/150\/2026\/07\/Strand-1-Guide-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Strand 1 Guide.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-9616442f-2415-4d0c-a46d-3b313fc79158\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/englishincentralasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/150\/2026\/07\/Strand-1-Guide-1.pdf\">Strand 1 Guide<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/englishincentralasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/150\/2026\/07\/Strand-1-Guide-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-9616442f-2415-4d0c-a46d-3b313fc79158\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Strand 1 project page, which will serve as the main source of information throughout the project and will be updated regularly with announcements, guidance, meeting materials, templates, resources, and important deadlines.
