    FIRS T YEAR REPORT ON THE "KHATCHER KALOUSDIAN"
    CENTER FOR PEDAGOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
    ACADEMIC YEAR 2006-2007


    The July 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon proved to be destructive for Lebanon
    and its economy. The educational was not the least damaged as well, even
    though the standard academic year had been completed. The official exams
    were not yet marked and we had to wait September until they were officially
    published.

    The "Khatcher Kalousdian" Pedagogical Center had presented 11 students for
    official examinations. Three of these of were TS students: Abadallah Lina,
    Shirinian Sarine and Dakesian Maral. The remaining eight were BT students:
    Aroyian Julia, Aroyian Maral, Khatcherian Maral, Gaidzagian Talin,
    Giragossian Hrip, Bedrossian Arpine, Stamboulian Shaghig and Vahradian
    Sylva.

    Only one BT student failed as a consequence of an unexpected turn of events
    during the academic year. She might also sit for the spring round of the
    official exams.

    Including this year's students, the center has thus far presented 64
    students to official examinations with only 1 unsuccessful candidate and
    another one with a pending status.

    The center initiated its academic year 2006-2007 in September. The
    admissions office accepted application on September 15 and 22. Classes
    started on September 29. This year the center so far has 22 students
    registered for nine classes a week each.

    TS students sit for courses in: Improvement of the Armenian Language, Method
    of Teaching Armenian History, Method of Teaching Armenian Language and
    Literature, Pedagogical Literature, Arabic Language and Method of Teaching
    the Language, Other Subjects Taught in Arabic, Psychology.

    BT students have a slightly different schedule: Improvement of the Armenian
    Language, Method of Teaching Armenian Language, Pedagogical Literature,
    Arabic Language and Method of Teaching the Language, Other Subjects Taught
    in Arabic, French Language.

    An additional topic, Armenian Pedagogical Writing, will also be proposed to
    students as an extracurricular course the followers of which will be
    volunteers only.

    Towards the end of the previous academic year our third and last methodical
    work was published: The Journal of improvement of Armenian. We hope to
    publish further works in the future under the scheme of the newly
    established pedagogical publications' project in the Catholicosate of
    Cilicia.
