Návštěva z Aljašky
Myslíte si, že mezikontinentální návštěvy jsou v této době nemožné? Mnozí studenti naší školy by to mohli vyvrátit, protože v minulých týdnech tuto neobyčejnou zkušenost zažili ve svých hodinách angličtiny.
Online výuka pomohla jedné dobrovolnici z Mírových sborů se vrátit po letech do České republiky alespoň virtuálně. Kara Weller pomáhala v porevolučních devadesátých letech, jako mnoho amerických dobrovolníků, se zdokonalováním angličtiny a zlepšováním životního prostředí v naší zemi.
Naši studenti tak měli jedinečnou možnost dozvědět se něco o Aljašce i mnoho ze soukromí Kary a ověřit si, že se i v primě výborně domluví s rodilou mluvčí, a to i za takto ztížených podmínek.
