  • Using Educational Drama and Role-Playing Teaching English in Gaza
    Asian Journal of Education and e-Learning (ISSN: 2321 – 2454) Volume 01– Issue 01, April 2013 Using Educational Drama and Role-Playing Teaching English in Gaza Governorates Awad Sulaiman Keshta The Islamic University of Gaza Gaza, Palestine _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT— The purpose of the study was to examine the perceptions of the teachers' use of educational drama in teaching English in Palestine whose first language was Arabic toward English drama. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher used a questionnaire in order to collect data about the teachers' use of educational drama in their classes. The sample of the study was 107 female and male teachers from Gaza southern Governorates. The study findings were as follows: 1. There are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in English language teachers' perception of the use of educational drama and role-playing in teaching English attributed to the gender. 2. There are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in English language teachers' perception of the use of educational drama and role-playing in teaching English due to teachers' experience. 3. There are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in English language teachers' perception of the use of educational drama and role-playing in teaching English attributed to the institution to which they belong. 4. There are statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in English language teachers' perception of the use of educational drama and role-playing in teaching English attributed to qualifications. Based on the study results, the researcher recommends that teachers should make good use of educational drama in their classes as it is considered an essential strategy for teaching English.

  • Tawfiq Canaan an Introduction by Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb Autobiographies
    Tawfiq Canaan An Introduction by Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb Autobiographies give a unique, eyewitness account of historical events experienced by one particular person, an account of a life with all its ups and downs, struggles and failures, successes and setbacks. They invite us to look at history not from a distant bird’s eye view, but through the eyes of one person in their own personal reality. However, autobiographies are not written at the time of the actual events and they constitute a rear-view mirror through a time lapse. Tawfiq Canaan started to write his autobiography in English in a pharmaceutical diary dated 1956, just a few months after his retirement in May 1955. Although still in good health, he must have had the feeling that time was slowly running out, that life was slowly but surely fading away, and that he had a story to share with his family, friends, and the visitors who were always eager to hear from him about socio-economic and political events. It must have taken him only a few months to write his memoirs. By late 1956, he had switched to documenting current affairs related to the dismissal of Glubb Pasha by the newly crowned King Hussein of Jordan on March 1st 1956, and reports on the Suez-Canal crises. This last chapter of his memoirs was less biographical and was therefore excluded from this publication. The last date in the manuscript was 1957, which means that Canaan must have felt that documenting current affairs was not his goal or worthy of his time.

  • Christmas 2000 in Bethlehem
    Christmas 2000 in Bethlehem Colleagues, Two years ago a dozen or so of us Crossings folks celebrated Christmas in Bethlehem. Our “home” during those days was the guest-house of the Talitha Kumi school in nearby Beit Jala. It’s mentioned in the final paragraph below. So the people and places mentioned below are woven into our own biographies. I receive messages almost every day from Christians in the Palestine/Israel war zone. This one from Lutheran bishop Younan came this morning. I pass his words on to you–weeping with those who weep–as the Feast of the Nativity comes toward us. But even tears, bitter tears, cannot eradicate the Joy to the World that came first to Bethlehem. That Joy is not a “no tears” smiley face, but faith’s confidence about the future–even as the tears roll down. How so? With our God-problem healed by the mangered Messiah (= the core meaning of the “Peace on Earth” announced by the angels), those entrusted to him have an upbeat future. Long term, big time–all the way through to resurrection. His life, now ours as well, trumps every messenger of death–snipers, missiles, gunships included. Two years ago the pastor of Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, Mitri Raheb, told us: “No, I’m not optimistic about the outcome of our conflict. Yet I still have hope.” And then playing on a Luther quote he said: “If I knew that the end of the world was coming tomorrow, I would today still plant an olive tree.” And he smiled.
