South Kazakhstna Seminar on 'Project Management and Leadership in Education' is over. It should be mentioned that the materials of the Seminar were compiled on the basis of two previously attended trainings which were hosted by George Pickering (Britich Council) in Tashkent 2008 and Ruth Larimer, (Fulbright EL Fellow) in Issyk Kul, 2013.
Day 1 was really hard for participants, since so many new terms related to Leadership skills and styles, Partnership were introduced. But on the 2d Day despite variety of activities and new project development the team output was displayed and better understanding of every term and step was acquired.
Some of the quotes of the feedbacks: 'I realized how important is writing a confirmation message or responding to the original one' Irina Kim, TarGU. 'It is something new to think of the evaluation of your project but not just about the process of implementation' Gulmira Yemkulova, TarGU. Young trainers got aware of the importance of baseline data collection and found out new resources apart from Department of Education, the resources the local association has. And participants got to know that there could be other exhibitors apart from welknown InterPress and Macmillan. Local language centers and training centers have something to present.
The results of the Seminar:
TarGU team is working on the application form of the coming KazTEA conference
Taraz School Team is working on invitation letter text to speakers and contact them
Aksu team is working on updating database of TESh seminar participants
Kyzylorda Uni and Gymnazium team is working on detailed information for applicants
Thank you to every participant as every of them introduced something new. And a good number of young teachers, potential leaders join TESh activities.

Monthly seminars held this winter
There were couple of seminars this winter: Sociolinguistics for EFL teachers, run by Phillip Hains (Peace Corps Volunteer) and Justice: A Journey in Moral Reasoning, hosted by Rebecca Gong (Peace Corps Volunteer). Although there were not many attendees but both seminars introduced some fascinating ideas. E.g. what the reasons are of close and loose relationship with people; who the people are that you have loose relationship and why? These very questions were discussed with Phillip.
And there were hot debates on the attitude of authorities, family to some personal problems or even tragic situations. There was an idea that if a person who is involved into tragedy is familiar to you or identified then you would do your best to safe him/her. But if you treat people like a crowd then you would consider them like a mess not very important matter. And there's a chance that the crowd would be sacrified for the sake of the country. Would you agree? These questions were discussed with Becca! join us at the conference where we would continue this discussion!

Computer and Web Technology in EFL classroom for rural teachers
TESh gained Hornby Trust Funds, British Council, Kazakhstan, and is the provider of the training. Together with the Centre of New Technology Implementation into Education we arranged the seminar for 21 teachers from Kentau, Turkestan, Dzetysaj, Sairam and Lenger. These days a training is successfully going on at the Academy of languages KUFN.
Seminar participants are getting new knowledge and skills in teaching English FL with the help of computer software and internet. I'm happy they've enjoyed working with HotPotatoes and developed various vocabulary and grammar exercises with Jmix, Jmatch, Jcross and other tools. Another amazing platform they tried was google.doc. Participants tried to write a document and make corrections on-line.I must add that seminar materials are compiled on the basis of 3 trainings arranged by the British Council: Professional Training Programme (Almaty, 2001-2003), 'Bringing Technology into the EFL classroom' (Hornby School in Kolomna 2007) and English for Teaching-Teaching for English (ETTE- 2008-).
Every time we try new tool we compare work on paper and computer. And everybody would agree that computer tools and software just assist teachers and learners to gain new knowledge and skills in English.
Much work should be done to implement computer tools and software into the teaching process and local classroom. Meantime I would thank the trainees for their enthsiasm and kind support in conducting the workshops.
