TALMA is The Israel Program for Excellence in English. In the framework of this program, ten teachers from abroad join the English teachers of Eilat in our elementary and high schools. You can visit TALMA's official site and learn more about the program.
This year, a special initiative called "Story Time with TALMA" was created. This initiative included a series of ZOOM meetings for 4th to 6th grades. Each time, a different TALMA teacher read a story to our pupils. There were also pre-reading and post-reading activities, and students practiced listening skills and vocabulary.
We would like to send special thanks to Dawn Siri, the coordinator of TALMA in Eilat, and the teachers Lindsey Sheldon, Chaya Itzkowitz. Tatyana Pankova and Jaime Lapper for their contribution to the initiative.
