Access program students in Zugdidi devote an Enrichment Activity to Mother’s Day celebration
On March 3, Access program students in Zugdidi, devoted an Enrichment Activity to Mother’s Day celebration. The session was aimed to enrich awareness of an American culture among participants and boos their confidence in expressing themselves in writing as well as orally. During the evening, participants worked individually and in pairs to take part in different activities. They drew parallels and discussed similarities and differences in Georgian and American cultures. At the end of the session, students devoted letters to their mothers, created and presented special greeting cards for the occasion.
““I really stood proud looking at my students; it was amazing to observe how confident they have become in less than a year of being in Access Program”- said Access program teacher in Zugdidi Nana Kikalishvili. “Progress they show is not only about speaking English more fluently, but also about expanding their range of interests.”-she added.

Success Stories
 Dianne Zhambakhidze was once a shy and silent student, but that was before she enrolled in Access. It took her nearly a year to find her voice, but now she is one of the most helpful and friendly members of the group. Peers admire her diligence and hard work and always pay extra attention to what she has to say in class when she answers questions and gives advice on homework problems. > More Second rotation of the Access program in Adjara region of Georgia started with its own set of challenges.

Although over 200 applications were received, general starting level of language competencies among the selected 25 Access students was dramatically low. The majority of students could hardly read in English > More  |
