[etni] Re: goal of English as a Second language in Israel

I, on the contrary, don't "want the Ministry to do something so that we don't have 
to teach skills which they also need in their other subjects". I think it is natural 
and desirable that the skills taught in different subjects would overlap, and 
considerably so. That's the difference between education and training. The problem is 
that those same skills are rarely taught in the other subjects at all...

All the best,
Sergeiy.

I agree with what you are saying but I don't want a standing ovation. I want the Ministry to do something so that we don't have to teach skills which they also need in their other subjects. Everyone knows the English teachers do much more work than the others - how about double pay for starters?
