Let´s talk English together
Start date: Aug 1, 2015, End date: Jul 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Our small Primary school is situated in region Bytča. There is a beautiful mountain range of Súľov rocks but on the other hand there is also lack of opportunities for our pupils and English teachers to use and practise English as a tool of communication. A larger town such as Žilina or Považská Bystrica which provide opportunities to study English is very far from our village. Our pupils and teachers are not able to travel 50 kilometres every day. They also have to change a lot, so this journey takes a long time. We choose our English teachers to improve their English skills because they have not been in English speaking countries for a long time. We have never provided this type of project. Our teachers want to be better in teaching English and this way they want to share their knowledge with children at our Primary school. Mgr. Marcela Trebulová, English teacher, prax 19 years, education UK Bratislava , English Language and Literature of English speaking countries. Mgr. Júlia Tarhajová, English teacher, prax 11 rokov, education UK Bratislava English Language and Literature Teachers will attend these courses within 14 days at University of Kent in Pilgrims, Canterbury, England: Pilgrims has been training teachers of English from all over the world for 40 years.
