AY 2007-2008 Projects - Europe/Eurasia

Country                       Moldova
City                              Chisinau
Host Institution           Ion Creanga Pedagogical State University/English Teaching Resource Center

Project Description
The EL Fellow's main host institution will be Ion Creanga Pedagogical State University in Chisinau, Moldova's primary teacher training university. The EL Fellow will conduct classroom teaching for third, fourth and fifth year students. Classes will focus on the areas of speaking, reading, American literature, and other areas as requested. The EL Fellow will also give weekly workshops at the English Teaching Resource Center (ETRC), located within the University. The ETRC, opened in 2003 as a collaborative project between the University and U.S. Embassy Chisinau, is supported by PAS grants. These workshops will be designed for university and school instructors. Aside from these two main teaching responsibilities, the EL Fellow may be asked, from time to time, to participate in additional activities. These will include giving presentations and workshops at Moldova's American Corners and working with the Association of English Teachers (APLE). If security conditions permit, the EL Fellow may be asked to travel to Transnistria with PAS to give occasional classes or workshops at Transnistrian State University. This could be a challenging opportunity for the EL Fellow.
