AMIDEAST, with a grant from the GE Foundation, offered English language training scholarships to 180 dedicated Palestinian teachers headed to AMIDEAST’s centers in El-Bireh/Ramallah, Gaza City, Hebron, and Nablus for a special training program designed to make them more effective teachers of English. Drawn from undeserved schools in the West Bank and Gaza supported by UNRWA and the Palestinian Ministry of Education, these teachers were eager to improve their command of the English language in order to better model the language for their students as they learn to speak, understand, and write correct English. Funded by the General Electric Company’s philanthropic arm, the GE Foundation, the summer program involved 90 hours of in-class instruction in general English teaching skills, conversation, and writing, as well as practical, everyday English and workshops to upgrade participants’ written communication skills.
