While studying a foreign language one of the objectives is to offer the students the possibility to feel that this is really necessary, that it will help them communicate with other people around the world, to let them “taste” it. With the students from the primary school who don’t speak English at home, have it in the school timetable only twice a week and know few words to be able to set a conversation it seems impossible. Still it is worth trying. It can for sure be successful. We did it with the help of Global School Alliance, a school from India and a primary one from Indonesia.
In this article, I will try to share our wonderful experience with the hope that it will be useful for other schools, teachers and of course students.
