| description | This study attempts to bridge the gap between English language learning and
teacher management and development. In comparison to the numerous research
papers written about Asian and European language teaching organisations, this
research focuses on a less researched path, Latin America. It evaluates the
successes and shortcomings in change management of a language institution in
Colombia, through the analysis of management and leadership in language
teaching organisations, staff motivation, teacher development and management
of change. The case study aims to answer the questions: (1) What were the
attitudes of the teachers, concerning how the change affected them? (2) How do
the change management methods of the DOS compare to the change
management methods of the literature? (3) Why was the change successful or
unsuccessful? The findings have suggested that the change and change
management were a success. |
