🌍✨ Speaking Club for Future ESL Teachers – Коли англійська стає мостом між культурами — народжуються нові ідеї та натхнення! 🌟Саме про це студенти спеціальностей: А4.01/014.01 Середня освіта. (Українська мова і література. Англійська мова), 013 Початкова освіта Кременчуцької гуманітарно-технологічної академії говорили під час зустрічі.
We had an inspiring and engaging meeting #1 with our wonderful volunteer, Sandra Northmore from Canada 🇨🇦
During the session, students had the opportunity to get to know Sandra, ask questions, and practice their speaking skills in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The conversation was especially interesting as we explored life in Canada, its culture, traditions, and everyday life.
We also had a meaningful discussion about whether similar traditions and aspects of culture exist in Ukraine, which helped us compare and better understand both countries. 🇺🇦🤝🇨🇦
💬 Such meetings are not only about language practice but also about cultural exchange, critical thinking, and broadening horizons for future ESL teachers.
A big thank you to Sandra for her time, openness, and inspiration!
