CAN PARTNERSHIP HELP ENGLISH TEACHERS TO IMPROVETHE QUALITY OF EFL CURRICULUM?
Abstract
Along with socio-economic changes, the government funding that granted to the universities has considerably reduced in Mongolia, so it is impossible for universities to respond to industrial needs and solve social challenges with their scarce resources. Therefore, it seems that a new partnership approach is needed. In this article, I want to identify what roles the teacher plays in tertiary education institution and whether they need to work collaboratively with different partners. Also, it will discuss why partnership is important at tertiary level English education. Finally, it will demonstrate what strategic partners are needed in our context
