Besides, what is worth mentioning is that it is the teaching of English in informal sectors that add more colors to the ELT scenario in the country. Competitions in training quality, diversity in delivery modes of informal sectors who have been driven by the market demands, have significantly helped change the face of ELT in most urban areas. Empowering students with a high level of English competency required in their career paths has always been their goals and main reasons of businesses. While there has been a shortage of ELTers, especially for rural and mountainous areas, the process of standardization and retraining of the existing ELTers at various levels has become more urgent than before.
