Dear Friends,
An interesting article appears in today's Ma'ariv ( July 18), on page
14.
Starting in September 2004, Grade 9 will begin a native- language
course in rhetoric and public speaking. According to the article, the
students will be given the tools for oral presentation, conversation,
proper register and debate. The Ministry is hoping that the students
will learn how to "listen" as well.
The Ministry spokesperson emphasized that the students will learn to
research their topics, stick to a schedule, work on their body language
and be prevented from using slang. The final exam will be oral.
I am ecstatic about this turn of events. This means that by the time
the students get to 10th grade, they will have rudimentary knowledge
of research, oral presentation and debating.
Moreover, when we begin to do our oral work, research projects and
debates (We all do debates on some level, don't we?), our students will
already have experienced the excitement and necessary demeanor that is
part and parcel of oral presentation.
At long last, progress and what will hopefully turn out to be
interdisciplinary cooperation.
