Michigan's English Language Institute using TV Teacher Training Via Closed-Circuit TV A dosed circuit television system is being used by the English Language Institute, University of Michigan, to supplement and improve the training of teachers. The system is financed by the Ford Foundation and employs RCA equipment. Since 1941, the Institute has trained more than 2,000 U. S. and foreign teachers, who have in turn taught English to some 1,500,000 persons around the world. The TV system, located in the North University Building, permits an Institute instructor to teach a class of foreign students while teacher trainees watch and discuss the classroom per formance next door. The foreign students in one classroom receive such phases of English language instruction as pronunciation, sentence patterns and vocabulary while a second instructor, doubling as a cameraman, focusses on them. In an adjoining classroom, as many as 100 teacher trainees can view the TV picture on a large projection screen, discussing the "show" without disturbing the televised class. The Institute TV system is the fourth on the University of Michigan campus. The new system was planned and supervised by Professor Garnet R. Garrison, Director of Broadcasting, and Frederick M. Rcmley, Jr., Technical Director of Radio and Tele IW*W»«i«(»«»,»«,s,^„^^ to perfect Mems of any size mdow! y rtW,q5McSWi«3MJ«stfWK»»*«*^'**^ FORSE DARKENING SHADES & DRAPERIES Made of finest fabrics Custom-made, any size Complete, ready for installation • Guaranteed for ten years Used by schools everywhere Draperies in decorative colors fRrt Fabric Samples; Complete Information; Price Schedules . . .
