The 3a and the 4b participated in the English in Action programme in February 2004 The aim of these 25 lessons of communicative English with a trained native-speaker teacherwas to enrich the teaching of English and to immerse students in English language and culture in their own institution.
Another aim was to increase students’ confidence in using English for communication and to encourage our students` positive attitude towards language learning.There was a lot of project-based work, which gave the students a chance to undertake a piece of extended work on a topic of interest to them. Here they played an instrumental role in both the choice of topic and its realisation . These projects were highly motivating for the participants. The presentation of the work of the last lesson of each day gave the students a chance to gain experience of performing in English before friends, parents and regular teachers.
