We work with the Ministry of Education, UNRWA and private schools to provide training for English language teachers, access to resources, network and support for their own language development. We also run development workshops for undergraduate English students and trainee teachers.
Over the summer, we gave intensive English language training to 125 teachers in Jerusalem, Ramallah, Nablus and Hebron and workshops for 50 supervisors with particular focus on the learner and managing large and mixed ability classes.
Building on the Ministry of Education and UNRWA supervisors training that was held during the summer, follow up training sessions will be held this December. The training will focus on speaking skills and how to manage speaking activities in large classes.
We work with local universities to develop teachers and students' English language skills. In December, we will be running a series of workshops with teachers and students from An-Najah University, Hebron University, Al Quds Open University, Bethlehem University and Birzeit University. Topics related to listening strategies and activities that can be used in class to develop students’ listening skills and the importance of developing an English club will be addressed during the workshops.
In partnership with Al-Quds Open University and University of London we will arrange a series of Video Conference meetings starting December and ending May 2007 to develop teachers and students English Language skills. Topics related pronunciation, developing writing skills, adopting and exploiting course books, dealing with large classes and others will be discussed as part of this training course.
