I'd like to second Fruma's praise of the winter ETAI at the Reali School in
Haifa. I know how exhausted we teachers feel when a holiday break comes around
and how tempting it is to avoid filling our calendars with anything work
related...however, I must say that getting a stimulating shot (or two) in the
professional arm and meeting up with colleagues, students, teachers and friends
from our past provides for a most pleasureable and rejuvenating experience.
The winter ETAI in Haifa was first rate. Both sessions I attended gave me
ideas which I look forward to utilizing - especially the one by the British
Council about getting kids to talk! Dr. Elisheva Barkon's presentation on the
importance of vocabulary was fascinating and thought provoking. Dr Judy Steiner
presented important changes to the curriculum. Masterful Penny Ur gave a
presentation on large heterogeneous classes which perfectly balanced "learning
by listening" and "learning by doing".
I must give a great big THANK YOU to all of the people who worked so hard as
conveners and presenters.
I have always encouraged my staff and friends to become members of ETAI and
attend the conferences; the winter session has motivated me to repeat that in
bold italics!
