MATE 1st Middle School Seminar

Centre d’accueil des jeunes, Al-Harthi (Next to Alharthi Stadium), Marrakech, Morocco, 9-10 March, 2007

After introducing English in the 9^th grade in the Moroccan educational system, Middle school teachers of English

have become focal points and a major concern for MATE national. Accordingly, servicing this population of

the Moroccan ELT community has become one of our priorities. This year, the Moroccan Association of Teachers

of English (MATE), in collaboration with the department of curricula, the national coordination of Inspectors

and the ‘delegation’ of Marrakech Mnara, organizes the first middle school seminar for teachers of English

under the title: “Middle School Teacher Development: Towards Better Practice” on 9-10 March, 2007

The main objectives of this seminar is to provide further practice opportunities for teachers at the junior high school

level on basic issues in ELT in order to enable them to meet the requirements of the curriculum as well as the expectations

of the students, the parents and the community at large. MATE is also open to all suggestions on how it may provide its services.

It can, for example, organize documents sharing and exchange of information and experiences among these teachers.
