English Program
This month ABBI delivers a new program to help children mastering their English. Damaijanti Teguh, the headmaster, has a great vision about this. This program is conducted on February and March.
The first session of Free English Class for Children was held on Friday (22 Feb.’8) and Saturday (23 Feb.’08). On Friday (22 Feb.’08), the Free English Class for Children had 50 children, aged from 4-11 years old, as the class participants. On Saturday (23 Feb.’08) the class was more segmented: 21 children, aged 12 (6th grade of elementary school). The children were happy with the class; the methods and the materials that the teachers used. They said ABBI is more like a home than a (course) school. The teachers are more like friends than teachers. This helps them to be more interactive during the class. The second session of Free English Class for Children will be held on Friday (29 Feb.’08) and Saturday (01 March ‘08).
