The pupils from the English Club talked with an American by computer
The coordinator of the Foreign Language Center, Anamaria Cătănoiu, prepared a surprise for the children who attend the English Club. They participated last night at a video conference with one of the main book donators, who lives in the United States of America, the American John Korst. The pupils from many schools in Focsani, between 10 and 12 years old, had the chance to talk with the American. Even if they were very nervous, they asked him things about him and America and he gave them all the answers.
Because the children don’t know English very well, the volunteer teacher of the center, Ionelia Bobaru, helped them with the headmaster of the Kindergarten no. 15, Alina Badiu, who was very thrilled about this activity. Anamaria Cătănoiu affirms that such kind of on-line video conference was organized with John for the first time and she would like these activities to become something usual, because the pupils were very happy that they had the opportunity to talk with an American. ”I provided them a surprise, but it was a test and a pilot class at the same time. We wanted to see how the children react, if they like the idea, because we want to do in the future these kinds of activities on different educational themes with John.”, Anamaria Cătănoiu told us.
