Through consultation with stakeholders, this diverse inter-institutional team of Applied Linguists and language teaching experts investigates the range of language educator competences needed in higher education (HE).
The purpose of HELECs is to develop an empirically informed framework of competences.
This framework will be integrated within the National Professional Development Framework for Staff who Teach in Higher Education as well as the criteria for Disciplinary Excellence in Learning, Teaching and Assessment (DELTA) awards.
