Testimonials

I wanted to say how much I truly enjoyed the CLIL course last week. It was not only informative but also inspiring. The practical ideas, interactive activities, and the balance between theory and application were just perfect. I especially appreciated the clear examples of how to structure lessons that integrate content and language, as well as the supportive atmosphere throughout the training.
The course definitely gave me a fresh perspective and boosted my confidence in using the CLIL approach more systematically with my B1–B2 students. I’ve already started planning a lesson on fast fashion that ties in perfectly with what we explored!

Vita Ivanishyn

What I liked most was the opportunity to visit the Little Carpathians. Seeing the hornbeam forest. It was wonderful!
The visit to protected natural sites with an ornithologist, bird watching, and watching the Danube, the second largest river in Europe, were interesting. I was fascinated by the visit to the border crossing where Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary bordered.
The teachers were also very knowledgeable and competent. And the teaching topics are relevant to me as a geography teacher and important for Europe.
Thank you Claudia for the theory in classroom management! Very useful!

Guna Viksna

I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to participate in your courses. This experience has been incredibly valuable and inspiring, as I have gained a wealth of new knowledge and practical skills.
I especially appreciate the opportunity to learn various methods for designing more effective lessons and developing worksheets that will help make the learning process more engaging and interactive. It was also very useful to learn about organizing outdoor lessons, which provide an alternative approach to teaching and allow students to learn in a natural environment. Additionally, I found the preparation process before and after outdoor lessons to be particularly insightful.
A particularly exciting experience was the hike in the Little Carpathians / Malė Karpaty, which not only broadened my perspective but also provided practical ideas for organizing similar educational activities for my students. The birdwatching activity also left a significant impression, demonstrating how much educational content can be learned through direct observation in nature.
