In June, teachers learned the secrets of using ICT in teaching. They acquired practical language skills, learned the methods of using ICT in schools in another country, established contacts with foreign school staff, looked at in a practical way and real activities of a foreign institution that provides bilingual education and uses ICT on a wide scale in teaching.
In August they participated in the CLIL course. The CLIL method is an extremely effective way of teaching a foreign language through integrated subject-language education.
