The University of Maryland’s National Foreign Language Center’s Connecting Classrooms program in partnership with the US Embassy in Russia’s Regional English Language Office (RELO) is a professional learning program for teachers of English in Russia and teachers of Russian in the USA. Through a series of online courses participants will gain foundational knowledge around key concepts as participants view presentations and interpret meaning for their educational settings. Facilitated through PEARLL’s course platform, synchronous learning include recorded and live video presentations, whole-group and small-group activities, chat discussions, and breakout sessions. Asynchronous learning will ask participants to explore resources that support the synchronous content, post reflections, and respond to discussion questions based on their professional goals.
We are currently seeking Russian language teachers living in the United States to take part in our upcoming Module 3 course (early October – early November) and to be a part of our community of practice. Are you or a fellow educator you know interested?
