Objectives

Both partner organisations wanted to satisfy the demand from those secondary school students who had been discouraged by online teaching from developing language competencies. Our tasks was therefore, on the basis of the joint online course, conducted in an effective way, to catch up as much as possible with the obvious shortcomings in their spoken expression in English, with the involvement of native speakers.

Background

The motivation to create this project arose due to the situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The necessary transition to online teaching, especially at the beginning, was not easy and sometimes it was ineffective. Both project partners reflected on the increased demand from secondary school students for language tutoring and the increase in language competence in English, especially for communication.
