-------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: [required material for our language lab From: "Adele Raemer and Laurie Levy" <raemer@xxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Walid and anyone else interested, There are no guidelines (as far as I know) for putting together a language lab, or as we call it in our school: an English Learning Center. The best thing to do is to visit other schools who have learning centers, see what they have done, and then - with your team, decide on the goals you have for your center. Is it for the entire school population? Only for learners with learning difficulties? For project work? Once you have done all that, you can decide what you need to achieve those goals. After that, you might want to go back to the other schools again. On the new site for the Rural English Education Department (REED), we are planning on having a corner to showcase different learning centers, as well as websites and how they are used, and other special projects. For now, there is only one school up there (Ma'ale Habsor) but you can go in and visit us virtually. Hopefully, in a few weeks' time, we will have more schools and explanations up there giving teachers like you ideas and inspiration. So - for those schools who have learning centers and are affiliated with the REED framework, please send me photos and explanations (adeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) of how your centers are used. (There are more explicit instructions on the site) And for the rest of you- "pop in" and have a peek! http://www.mchp.gov.il/Site/Supervision/REED/ Adele Walid wrote: >Dear colleagues, hi >This year we've set out an English Lab in our school-Yamma High School. >Therefore, we are very much interested in getting your professional tips and >guidelines regarding that. >We will also be thankful if you supply us with the necessary material, >including audio-visual aids, listening cassettes and others. -------------------------------------------- Who's Who on ETNI - http://www.etni.org/whoswho/ Add yourself / Update your entry http://www.boker.org.il/etni/whoswho.htm --------------------------------------------
