We intend to work together with our pupils using technology-based communication to explore different topics covered in the English subject. Using ICT tools pupils will discover new ways of learning English and improve their language skills. Students will also have a chance to look for, classify, talk about, share, write, compare, present information on their culture, on those of their partners and on various topics interesting for young people.
