Editor's Notes
- #2 Intros – 1 minute
- #3 30 seconds
- #4 1 minute; ELC and EDC at universities; focus on improving skills of university faculty rather than of students
- #5 2 minutes
- #6 30 seconds. Could add that 3 ELI people had worked in Yemen in the mid-1980s on an earlier ELI project there.
- #7 1 minute. The website includes workshop material (you’ll see the URL again at the end). Mentored training = hallmark. It let us see actual teaching styles so we could recommend certain trainers for more training and use as trainers
- #8 1.5 minutes
- #9 1 minute. We chose these as a result of a needs analysis and because the grant called for faculty to be better able to deal with assessment.
- #10 Flash by – a trainer doing a workshop
- #11 Flash by – our faculty doing a workshop
- #12 1 minute. These topics were called for in the grant –especially reading - and the needs analysis reflected concerns about these areas. English teachers wanted to know how to teach students; we focused on how to teach faculty members.
- #13 Flash by – group work
- #14 Flash by – mixed groups
- #15 1 minute. Needs analysis pointed us in this direction, as well as work with other teacher groups
- #16 Flash by. Our nicest site.
- #17 Flash by. Typical computer lab.
- #18 1 minute. Occasional issues with hierarchy due to the inclusion of adjunct faculty members. We held our ground to encourage inclusivity.
- #19 30 seconds. Part of the grant. We asked that teachers have access to the books, camera, and voice recorder in the Center.
- #20 1 minute. Sometimes trainers’ students. Administrative understanding of expectations and buy-in had a lot to do with the number of trainees available and whether they were faculty members or students.
- #21 30 seconds. Exceeded goals by a factor of 5 or more.
- #22 1 minute. Exceeded goals except in IT; lack of infrastructure was a problem, especially in Thamar.
- #23 1 minute. We had hoped to do follow-up visits, which would let us actually measure how much of what we had given the trainers was being used in workshops. They have not yet happened.
- #24 2-3 minutes. This is at the heart of the presentation, in some ways.
- #25 2 minutes. The challenges encouraged learning a variety of lessons.
- #26 2 minutes. Most of those who traveled to Yemen were experienced at living overseas. The uncertainties in the project itself – timing, funding, availability of resources – challenged everyone.
- #27 2-3 minutes.
- #28 As long as we have left…
- #29 Leave up at the end while we’re answering questions.
