    Re: Diaspora Armenian language teachers don’t know it properly.

    Good news.
    According to Diaspora Ministry sources a new Western Armenian department will be opened at Yerevan State University to prepare Western Armenian language teachers for Diaspora. Before that only Hakazyan University of Beirut had such a department, which couldn’t satisfy need for the teachers of Western Armenian language for 400 Armenian language schools abroad.

      This will be of limited use for the reasons i have already stated. It also sounds like a good way for Armenians to leave Armenia(what elese are they going to do when they specialize in western armenian?). The proposed school we were discussing would have brought students and teachers from the outside into the country. While this department has a chance of bringing in some students from abroad, it will by far facilitate graduates born in Hayastan leaving the country for good. One option brings in people and introduces them to our country and people while the other may bring in some people but is more likely to become a production line for a way out of Armenia.
      Hayastan or Bust.

        I heard today that many Armenian families in Argentina are moving to LA Armenian communities so that they can attend their kids in schools as low as $2000 a year. Apparently Armenians in Argentina are loosing their language at a fast rate and it is good that these teachers from Armenia could end up helping these students.

          And some children in Diaspora study at boarding schools. Why the Armenian language boarding schools are not shifted from abroad to Armenia? Wouldn’t this be more preferable/suitable for those who are using this option of their children education?

          We must think about establishing such Armenian language boarding schools in homeland. And teaching as a foreign language the language the children know, instead of so called; "International" English language ones.

          During first year, if children don’t know the Armenian terminology of mathematics, physics, etc., they will be taught in the language they know; at the same time they can learn Armenian terms. I had such an experience myself. As a former teacher, I think, one year is enough for that. And then the studies will be conducted in Armenian language.

          By the way, I think, it may cost less than $2,000 a year given the realities in homeland. Though, I guess, you mean that the amount is required for an ordinary (private), not boarding school; the later probably will cost much more abroad.
