offer on pronounciation training session

Tere Võru ja Põlva maakonna inglise keele õpetaja, 

Meil on väga hea võimalus kutsuda Võru Kreutzwaldi Gümnaasiumi esinema inglise keele foneetika õppejõud Geoff Lindsey, kes on õpetanud aastaid inglise keele foneetika „hällis“ ja peamises uurimiskeskuses ehk University College London' is.  Eestis on ta käinud viimase kümne aasta jooksul koolitamas Tallinna Ülikooli suulise tõlke üliõpilasi ning teinud mitmepäevaseid intensiivkoolitusi, kus põhikuulajaskonna on moodustanud tõlgid, aga osalejaid on olnud muudeltki elualadelt, nt õpetajate ja ülikooli õppejõudude hulgast.  Koolitusele on tuldud paljudest Euroopa riikidest, läbi aastate on tagasiside olnud ülipositiivne ning paljud inimesed on tulnud koolitusele mitmendat korda uuesti.  

Koolitus toimub 13.jaanuaril 2015.a. (teisipäev) algusega kell 13:30 Võru Kreutzwaldi Gümnaasiumi peeglisaalis. Koolitus toimub kahes osas (kumbki 90 minutit) ning vahepeal on paus (20-30 minutit). Õpetajad saavad osalemise kohta tunnistuse ning seetõttu on vajalik eelregistreerimine 13.detsembriks 2014.a. Koolitusel osalemise soov palun saata Ruth Talmeti meiliaadressile ruthtalmet@hotmail.com

Koolitus toimub koostöös Põlva maakonna inglise keele õpetajatega (maksimum osalejate arv on 60).

Geoff Lindsey kodulehekülg on http://www.englishspeechservices.com/, kus on ka ajaveeb kõige värskemate tähelepanekutega tänapäeva inglise keele foneetika arengute kohta, mis on  väga hea abimaterjal õpetajale igapäevatöös. 

Soovitan seal värsket artiklit "Generality" http://englishspeechservices.com/blog/generality/

Reminder: Drama Festival

Dear colleagues,

Those who haven't sent your data in time: We are sorry but the list is closed by now. We can't afford a longer delay.

The festival will take place on Saturday, 22nd November, from 10.a.m. till 13.30 p.m. at Võru Kreutzwald Gymnasium's Assembly Hall.

The house will be open from 9.15 a.m. so everybody who wishes to test out the stage will have the chance to do so. We have the 1st floor (second floor in Estonian system) at our disposal. Each team will have a certain classroom to change their clothes in (tags are by the doors). The students have to be supervised all the time! There will be no moving around the school house during the performances! The classrooms' doors will be locked and the so-called key girls will be in the assembly hall.

We kindly ask everybody to bring your indoor shoes with you.

Should you have any more questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
