A Faulty Ivory Tower: Reflections on Directing the ELP from 2006 to 2012 Harshbarger, Bill The period from 2006 to 2012 marked a turbulent and difficult time for the English Language Program (ELP) at International Christian University (ICU). This paper offers the Program Director’s analysis of the manifestations, underlying causes, and suggestions for ameliorating the problems experienced in the ELP during this period. The main conclusions are that a relatively small number of disaffected instructors had a disproportionately negative impact on an otherwise effective group of teachers, and that certain organizational and administrative aspects of the program unintentionally exacerbated this problematic situation. Changes in management structure and personnel policies, as well as professional development training are recommended to address these problems.
