Two language teachers, Sheri Green , ( French and Russian) Hamburg Central Schools and Jennifer Goodman ( Spanish) Churchville-Chili Junior High were selected by the Linkages Education Committee to provide Russian teachers of English in Velikiy-Novgorod with two weeks of training in teaching techniques , American culture and English language practice. ( June 30 – July 11, 2009) The two-week seminar constitutes a professional development opportunity for Russian teachers during the summer. The American teachers who participate in this seminar not only provide valuable updates on English idioms, teaching techniques and American culture to their Russian peers but gain considerable understanding of teaching conditions and styles in Russia. Moreover, the friendships forged in the home stays as well as during the workshops continue to strengthen the ties between Rochester and Velikiy Novgorod.
