On 21 November 2003, PEN-International signed an agreement with Charles University to co-host an ESL Teacher Training Seminar in Summer 2004. The seminar will be offered to up to 60 participants from the Czech Republic who will be trained in the latest approaches to teaching English as a second language to students who are deaf. Experts from NTID will provide the majority of the lectures and workshops to those attending the seminar. The seminar will occur between 22 August and 27 August 2004.
