TETA/KATE
The Kansas Association of Teachers of English and the Timisoara English Teachers Association in Romania signed a partnership agreement in May of 2005.
Members of each organization have visited the other's meetings sharing strategies for better teaching and exploring ways to promote and benefit from the partnership.
KATE hopes this web page will become a site to promote effective teaching of English language skills and the sharing of rich cultural experiences. Equally important, we hope this site will be a meeting point for finding and sharing friendships.
A Google Group discussion site has been established where members of each organization can share their ideas and experiences. Participation in this "Google" discussion group is by invitation--contact <aanders@jccc.edu> if you would like to participate.
In addition, a KATE/TETA Blog has been posted on the web.
We hope faculty and students will find topics on the blog that encourage their response. The blog may become a shared journal between Kansas and Romania. This blog is an experiment--a way for us to share. Remember as you or your students write, that everything on the blog can be read by the general public

KATE/TETA Blog Projects
In the blog archives you will find writing projects that invite faculty and student contributions.
Project #1: Share a "Postcard"
The first project invites original poems or short paragraphs that could fit on a postcard. The goal is to create a sort of scrapbook about Kansas and Romania. The writing may be illustrated with a small picture if wished, or accompanied with an appropriate web page URL. The writing may be done at any level from elementary student to adult faculty.
To contribute a "postcard," go to the end of the first entry in the project, and select "Post a comment". Remember that everything posted on the blog can be read by the general public.
Please write about the common places in your life that are too often overlooked or given to "official tourist guides" to describe. If you respond, please title the poem in such a way that we might know generally where the place is (were we to possess a fairly good map).
