December 3 and 8, 2008. Information Resource Center (IRC) staff engaged the current classes of Leipzig teacher trainees of English in a dialog on teaching materials for use in class. The specialized briefings focused on agency and mission products and services. The teachers identified intercultural understanding, the American way of life and the American dream as the primary issues that are still somewhat difficult to discuss due to a lack of current and up-to-date text books. The presentations catered to the needs of the young teachers by alerting them to resources such as the IRC reference service and the Newsletter for English Teachers.
