Output 2: TEFE framework for the internationalisation of teaching practice and employability

Output 2, the TEFE Framework for the Internationalisation of Teaching Practice and Employability, plays a pivotal role within the comprehensive TEFE Framework for ITP. Its core objective is to equip prospective English teachers with essential international employability competences, enabling them to excel in International Teaching Practice both within the Consortium partner institutions and on a wider international scale. The TEFE Framework defines the employability competences necessary for successful ITP, presents pedagogical tools, identifies skills gaps, and outlines a conceptual model for their development. It employs a practice-based methodology, underpinned by the TEFE Charter and complemented by the TEFE Case Studies. Output 2 underscores the need to cultivate the international perspective in developing the employability, mobility, and professional identity of future teachers of English to ensure their enduring success in the teaching profession.
