The Window on America Center in Lutsk Welcomes English Language Teachers!

During these days the Window on America Center in Lutsk hosted a meeting for teachers of English language from local and regional schools.

The two days meeting was a great opportunity to:

• share academic progress and growth,
• discuss strategies to support students' learning
• discuss issues that may be interfering with students' learning

The main goal of these meetings with teachers is learning about technologies that can influence the process of education.

During the first day the audience was proposed to participate at the presentation about the Center, its resources, numerous programs, meetings and clubs. The main emphasis was made on the programs that help the people to practice their English.

The second day had more practical character: the teachers could try how to use modern technologies that provided intense and meaningful practice of language in the classroom and at home. The audience discussed factors that can affect learning, such as the latest collection of English language learning and teaching resources.

We believe that free access to the Window on America Center resources will result in positive influences on the process of English language teaching and learning.
