----- Original Message ----- From: Pnina - pschiffer79@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Anglo olim to teach English I made Aliyah in 2001 and I am a young senior citizen. I have an EFL certificate from Beit Berl and I have tutoring experience. I would like to participate in the teacher training part of the new program and perhaps the Ulpan. Is there any way of doing that? I have a couple of graduate degrees. Thanks for any helpful info.
