Hi!
I have a proposal for the University teachers from GB and the USA. Actually I teach English in the Kostroma State University (Russia) and I want to find colleagues to share experience, to arrange meetings, to establish contacts in short. If anyone have any ideas or wants to make friends so to say with our Uni please answer.

Hello Anna,

I am currently taking a TEFL course in the UK.

I am exploring the possibility of operating short workshops (of two to three weeks duration), with particular emphasis on conversation, vocabulary and pronunciation, in various locations in Eastern Europe.

May I provide you with further details and ask your opinion as to whether this might be of interest to your students?

I am based in Norfolk, England and recently had the pleasure of meeting some students from Kostroma who were here under the SAWS scheme.

Please reply to: ***

Yours sincerely,

Paul Allen

I live in Indiana, but I once was in Kostroma for about a year and a half. I was wondering if the University where you teach could use some books on a variety of subjects, but in particular, the following--

1. Books in English by C. S. Lewis or about him and his writings, especially the Narnia books (e.g., The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)

2. Books about Christianity, the New Testament, Jesus, Christian ethics, and similar topics

3. A somewhat broad selection of books (often textbooks) about history, geography, education and educational theory, adolescent psychology and development, literature, and so on

The books are informative, but not highly technical. They would be understandable to most English teachers and many English students in Russia. They would be entirely free. Some audio books (tapes) would also be included. Some of the tapes are religious, and some are English novels or peotry (Oliver Twist, Lord of the Flies, the Sonnets of Shakespeare, and other selections).

If you, or the university directors and teachers are interested, I think I could make this happen at no cost to your school. An Orthodox priest, a certain "Father George", suggested that I donate the books about C. S. Lewis. I never did that, and I've been sorry ever since then (about eight years). You can relieve my feelings of guilt, and get some free literature, if you want it.
