Start of the “Activate English Group 7.0.”

This afternoon the Window on America Dnipro center started the new Express English - 7 course. The session was dedicated to the traditional phrases for meeting and greeting people.
The Window on America Dnipro center offers the library patrons an “Express English” activity that will help them to activate their passive knowledge of the foreign language and to overcome the fear of speaking in English. Ten two hour- lectures are offered for the participants to improve their conversational skills in pairs.
The professional EFL lecturer T. Gavryliuk combines the lexical exercises with important cross-cultural information that will help the English learners to understand their foreign counterparts better and to avoid awkward situations in communication.
The promotion of the “Express English” at the DOUNB library was supported by local media: the websites of the city news, the Oblast State Administration site, and FB.
The new patrons were informed about the DOUNB’s resources and modern services.
 

The highlight of the lesson was a visit of the US guest – Mrs. Tamara. She talked about the “Do”s and “Don’t”s  of the introductions in  the USA and  gave  expert advice on composing texts “Introducing myself”.
The new patrons were invited to join other WOA’s activities – Wednesday Movie Club and the “Gabfest” Speaking Club on Saturdays.

Number of participants – 40 persons.
