CLASS: Civics, Language and American Studies Seminar
July 24-28, 2005

Every year the Office of Public Affairs of the United States Embassy in
Israel, organizes a seminar for 25 Israeli English high school teachers
from all around the country. The seminars, entitled CLASS which stands
for Civics, Language and American Studies Seminar, and are recognized
by the Israel Ministry of Education. All participants receive between
45 and 50 enrichment points for attending. 

CLASS is held under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of State,
which sends three top level U.S. speakers to Israel specifically for
this purpose. This year, renowned U.S. author and editor of the
acclaimed literary magazine The Southern Review, Bret Lott, will speak
on the twentieth century novel; Professor David Doris, University of
Michigan, will lecture Disneyland as a Metaphor of American Culture;
and Andrea Schindler, State Department English Teaching Officer will
demonstrate how to incorporate all the texts into Contents-Based
Instruction for the English language classroom. 

CLASS is an immersion seminar. This means that all the participants stay
at the Yitzhak Rabin Youth Hostel which is situated on the premises of
the School for Senior Educators, Israel Ministry of Education's
prestigious in-house training center where the seminar traditionally
takes place. The seminar is an intensive five-day learning experience,
requiring full and active participation from all the participants. This
year CLASS will run from July 24 through 28, 2005 inclusive.
