“Acting: English!” is a creative eTwinning project that aims to improve students’ English skills through drama, storytelling, and role-play. Each month, students take part in engaging activities such as creating avatars, writing and performing short dialogues, acting out stories, and recording puppet shows. These tasks help students gain confidence in speaking English while encouraging creativity and teamwork. Partner schools collaborate by sharing student work and interacting through digital tools. The project also supports the development of 21st-century skills like communication, digital literacy, and cultural awareness. It is designed for learners aged 9–12 at A1–A2 levels and includes fun, performance-based learning throughout the school year.
Student Presentation
Ι would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Parents and Guardians Association of our school for their generous offer to cover the cost of printing and binding the preparation books (Past Papers) for the State Certificate of Language Proficiency (Level A) exams, for the 5th and 6th grade students.
Parental support is a cornerstone of our educational community. Initiatives like this strengthen the work of public education, which strives every day to provide equal opportunities and high-quality learning for all children.
The English lesson is particularly important, as it helps students develop communication skills, explore other cultures, and broaden their horizons. The Association’s contribution is invaluable, ensuring that every child has access to the necessary educational material and can actively participate in both the learning process and the certification exams.
We sincerely thank you for your continued support, cooperation, and commitment!
As part of the “Active Citizenship” project, the 5th-grade students participated in the creation of a digital library of audio stories (podcasts) in both Greek and English. The stories were either written by the students themselves or inspired by books they have read.
A common theme across all stories is the acceptance of diversity and inclusion. The students read the stories aloud, highlighting the importance of accessibility to children’s books for all children.
