Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------students do not finish their daily workload before
midnight.

Time was racing and four years are gone like
nothing… I hope I can go back in the future to see
the further development not only of the German
project but the whole country, which is developing
rapidly. For now I am back in Germany and looking
forward to teaching here and doing lots of amazing
eTwinning projects with you.

Nevertheless our students add extra classes in
German as many of them plan to study in Germany
after the final school exam. We were happy that we
could organize a school exchange with a German
school in Berlin and every year got some
scholarships for summer courses in Germany. So
the students got to know German culture more
profoundly and not only theoretically from language
books.

During the school year from 15th August to 25th May
there are not many holidays, only for Lunar New
Year Vietnam stands still. Everybody goes home,
shops and banks are closed, and even schools are
closed. Tet – the lunar New Year – is the biggest
festival and time for foreign teachers to travel and
see more of the beautiful country.

If you are interested in getting more detailed
information about Vietnam and the German project,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Jutta Schwarz is a teacher of English, Politics and
German as a foreign language. Her students are 10
to 16 years old. She used to be an eTwinning
ambassador for many years. Next school year she
will most probably teach in a new school – German
for refugee children and English. “eTwinning is just
great, a wonderful tool to connect students and
teachers all over Europe.”
