ОПРОС ПО РЕЗУЛЬТАТАМ КОНФЕРЕНЦИИ РКА

Уважаемые коллеги,
Наши американские коллеги - участники конференции в Ростове проводят опрос среди российских преподавателей по результатам конференции. Результатами анализа готовы поделиться с нами. Нет нужды подчеркивать, что для нашей следующей конференции РКА это будет весьма полезная feedback.

Откликнитесь, пожалуйста - на благо укрепления межкультурного взаимопонимания. И пригласите, по возможности, ответить других участников, кто был на ростовской конфернции, но чьи адреса не попали в список рассылки или их адрес по-каким-либо причинам не работает.

Ответы можете отсылать непосредственно Krista Longtin, Indiana U- Purdue U Indianapolis (IUPUI), klongtin@iupui.edu

Спасибо,
О.И. Матьяш

Dear colleagues

As you may be know, Kate Thedwall and I are working on putting together a collection of stories from conference participants about their experiences working with faculty from other countries in preparation for a presentation here in the U.S.

We have gotten a number of responses from Russian students and American professors; however we only have ONE response from a Russian professor. If you would be willing to take a few minutes to respond to our questions below, we would GREATLY appreciate it. You may be as honest as you like; your identity will be protected in the final project.

Also, if you know of any professors personally who you could encourage to respond, we think it would make our project a more accurate depiction of the Conference experience. Of course, we would be willing to share this project with the RCA and the Institute.

Thanks so much for your time!

Sincerely,
Krista Longtin and Kate Thedwall
2004 RCA Conference Participants
