The first part of the week concentrated on two areas. The first was devoted to investigating the countryside in the UK in the form of possible activities to be taken into the classroom. Where possible this was done through the use of realia or by searching the internet. There was an emphasis on current intercultural methodology and the value of investigatory approaches based on developing awareness and skills. The second area was developing ICT skills according to the level of the participants and with a view to the skills needed for the production of the webpages.

In the second part of the week the participants divided themselves into groups to work on preparing materials of their choice on a theme connected to the countryside. They were then guided by Wojtek Korput and Mariusz Marczak on how to present these materials as webpages. Some participants with more advanced ICT skills had the opportunity to develop webpage design skills themselves.

There were a variety of evening activities including a quiz, a barbecue, films and a walk to a nearby village while the centre itself had bikes for hire and the seaside could be reached in half an hour. Nearer to the centre was a lake and the opportunity for swimming.

For an offbeat, participants angle on the 10 days, try Mrs. A’s Diary.

We very much hope to organise another summer school next year along these lines, so if you are interested, watch out for information on this website.
