The University and the School English Departments meeting.

One of the up sides of having Jenin closed is that we can avail ourselves of the teachers at the school of the Arab-American University (they've been closed during the recent siege). One of their teachers has extensive experience as an international EFL (English and a Foreign Language) trainer, and came to our school to talk with our English department. Unfortunately, we don't have much time these days, due to the fact that two of our teachers are absent (they're way on the other side of Jenin and unable to come), so we met during one of the breaks. We're hoping that we will get the chance more often in the future, but it would be preferable to have it under more peaceful circumstances.
