OF
ENGLISH
INSTRUCTIONS
The more English the children hear,
the more they will learn
Using English develops greater fluency, as pupils
are encouraged to think in English from early
stages.
If a teacher uses only English she creates the real
reasons to communicate in English

you really have no time for trying again.
