Tips for the foundation of a Teachers' Resources Center (CRT)

A CRT is to be equipped with all the language educational facilities requested by the Education Ministry.

A CRT should be opened in a school of the largest city of the province, the one best served by public transport in order to allow as many teachers as possible to independently utilize its facilities.

A CRT should possibly be located in a secondary school where three or four foreign languages are taught with the assistance of native speakers and with an efficient computer science department run by experienced teachers and engineers. A school with language labs, multimedia rooms and a language library.

A CRT should be allowed to utilize also the school facilities for its activities, if necessary.

A CRT should open and regularly maintain its own web site possibly with the help of the school computer science teachers and engineers.

The CRT library should have a core collection of basic works in the field of language teaching with a catalog on line, making it possible to borrow books by post. The library could also be expanded in a short time and at little or no cost by collecting in it all the language books not utilized by the other schools of the province.
