In December of 1997, the first phase of the Estonian Language Training Project was completed. At the present time, a proposal is being submitted to CIDA for a second phase of the project.
This 3-year collaborative project involved numerous activities which allowed Estonians and Canadians to share experiences in the field of SL education. During the fall 1995 and 1996, two groups of Estonian educators came to UNB for one full academic year. This 10-month study/work term allowed these teachers to participate in courses, workshops, and school visits as well as engage in personal research and curriculum development projects. During the 1995-96 academic year, Elle Sormus of Tallinn Pedagogical University and Ene Peterson of Virumaa Teacher's College spent 10-months at UNB. In the 1996-97 year, Leelo Kingisepp of Tartu University, Diana Maisla of Virumaa Teacher's College and Tiit Paeva of Tallinnn Pedagogical University were the 3 participants in this part of the project. During their time at UNB, each group took part in a special presentation on the project held on February 23rd, Estonian Independence Day. |
