**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="windows-1255" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable HI. I want to clarify using regular EFL books of higher levels (or attempting to) in what we call accelerated classes. When I said we were going to try using "Bridges" in a yud class I was "attacked' and told tha= t this is wrong and that they need native speaker books. Well as far as I'm concerned they are not native speakers. Some have English speaking parent= s and some spent time abroad but English is not their mother tongue. Others are just excellent , hard working students. I didn't know I was breaking = any ministry rules and I'm not looking for trouble so I hope that Big Brother= is not watching me. I'm just a hard working teacher. =0D Shana Tova to everyone especially all of the great English teachers out there. =0D Aviva S. ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
