On Thursday and Friday 21st & 22nd June, a two-day training seminar took place at CENAFFE, as a continuning part of the cascade phase of the NENA, (Near East and North Africa), RELT, (Regional English Language Teaching), Project. In attendance were secondary level teacher trainers from 13 different regions of Tunisia, and the two workshop facilitators, Hela Nafti, (ELT School’s Inspector, Ministry of Education), and Andrea Marsh, (ELT Co-ordinator, British Council).
This was the final seminar in the cascade phase of the project, and the main focus was on the development of teaching resources for the extra hour of English that is being introduced for 7th, 8th and 9th form students from the beginning of the next academic year. Participants selected appropriate content from the four British Council websites (Go4English, Teaching English, Learn English and Language Assistant), and adapted this to create lesson plans that can be used in the extra hour by teachers at all three levels.
The seminar also featured a session led by Kaithe Greene entitled, ‘The Reflective Practitioner’. Kaithe will be taking over the role of ELT Co-ordinator at the British Council from September this year.
Finally, there was a look ahead both to this year’s Hornby Summer School to be held at Al Akhawayan University in Morocco, (see separate report for more details), and to the evaluation phase of the project which will take place between September and December 2007.
