Armenien startet Schulungsprogramm für armenische Diaspora-Lehrer

With all due respect, teachers in Armenia are the ones who need to learn from diaspora teachers rather than the other way around. Like seriously, first find competent teachers in Armenia, all of Armenia, then start thinking about launching a training program for diaspora teachers.

>“In you, we see people who preserve and promote the Armenian language, history and culture in different countries and diverse linguistic and cultural environments.

So another shovel of dirt on the western dialect burial?

>Through your work, you help strengthen the connection between Armenians living around the world and their homeland.This is an extremely important mission, and the Republic of Armenia is committed to continuously supporting and encouraging your efforts,“ she said.

It is, but first, find good teachers in Armenia, secondly the commitment seems selective and biased if it wants to ignore the other dialects and if they’re going to ignore the classical orthography in favor of the Soviet one, it’s presumptuous.

>“Training is a process of mutual learning. We also have much to learn from you.“

This might offend some but we can’t even get people who teach in Armenia to learn from people within Armenia, for whatever pride reasons, be it in school teachers, unis, military or agriculture. These people especially get offended when people from abroad are trying to teach them, they start acting like toddlers, you might as well pull an academic paper, they lock up because of ego. Nevertheless even if that weren’t the case, i’ve seen enough to conclude they have no intentions of focusing on a mutual process, but a singular, one directional education process, it’s just ear candy.
