Athens Host Families preparing for international students in July 2020

After the successful Summer School in Athens in July 2019, our contact teachers have already started preparations for next year. Monday 13 July 2020 will be the first day of the Anglia EU Summer 2020 at Arseiko School.  

“It would be great if we could involve some international students, from the Anglia Network countries like Italy, Turkey, Ukraine and The Netherlands.

Our students have already discussed it with their parents and they are seriously interested. “

Host families is a wonderful idea, but needs careful preparation. It is very important to get the right match between the host and the visitor. In Athens we are looking for 14-15 year olds at A2 or B1 level. We will travel in groups of 5 to 10 students, accompanied by a teacher or responsible adult.

Review English Experience Week Athens
- Marita Papadogianni, 16 years old -

In July 2019 I had the opportunity to participate in the ANGLIA English Experience Week in the Arsakeia Tositseia Schools of Athens. During the week I saw only happy faces. Smaller and older children practiced their English, learning how to be more competent in the use of English in writing and more fluent in oral communication.

City bingo, sports activities, meals with schoolmates and teachers, team work in the classrooms, the use of multimedia and working on a project to be presented to the parents at the end of the week were the main features of this English summer camp. All this was so innovative and fun that the week was not enough, as everyone enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end.

The ANGLIA teachers were wonderful, talented, smiling and warm, so a deep bond was formed between them and the students. All the children expressed their wish to participate again next summer and have this great chance to practice English guided by native speakers.

I hope I will be part of the English Experience Week next year too! -
