**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Dear English Teachers, You are cordially invited to take part in an innovative in-service teacher training course mid-March-mid-June 28 hours Gmul / 7 meetings PISG''A Lod 34 Hashmonayim, Lod Learn public speaking skills and how to effectively use debating techniques in EFL classrooms Lecturer: Yaron Nahari / apaxmec@xxxxxxxxxxx Debate in 10 "Debate in 10" is an advanced course classroom in debating. The course will teach the secrets of involving an average English class in debating within just 10 lessons. Theory will be eschewed for nuts-and-bolts practicality. Participants will have hands on experience in all elements of debating and will be encouraged to put the principles they learn into practice as the course proceeds. The course will allow teachers to energize their lessons, involve students in a highly active form of learning and cross hurdles common to the Israeli classroom. The sessions will include three elements: 1) Exploration of the principles of debate and public speaking and ways to present them to a class. 2) Exercises similar or identical to those that will be used in the classroom. 3) Discussion and review of teachers own efforts (as all teachers will be encouraged to put the lessons learned into practice in their own classrooms). This short course includes seven sessions: Session One - Introduction & Public Speaking Games Session Two - How to build Arguments and a Speech Session Three - Speech Delivery and Rudimentary Debating Session Four - Hands-on Debating Session Five - More Debating (it is, after all, a debate course) Session Six - Side Stepping Hurdles and Dealing with Problems Session Seven - Full Dress Rehearsal & Summary Registration: genady_b@xxxxxxxxxxxx / 089211317/0523954625/ Bronia Kabakovitch ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
