GROUP PROJECT


As project we chose Encouraging English at the Primary School. We intend to do this through play and in a fun way. In Suriname, where Dutch is the official language, English is taught in one grade only which is the third grade. Only some vocab is taught which the children should learn by heart. We think this is insufficient and we would like to change that since English is such an important language. Children nowadays come into contact with the English language at a very early age if we think about ICT, TV etc.
