In July 2015, Ivana Matěnová attended a language-focused course organized by St. Giles International Language School, Brighton, Great Britain. Her aim was to improve her language skills so that she could use elements of English in her subjects, biology and mathematics, and prepare students interested in the university studies of these subjects better. The lessons within the course were varied and employed different methods and materials, which Ivana had not encountered while studying English in Czech schools. She appreciated the professional and friendly approach of the teachers. She also got involved in afternoon social activities, such as a bike trip, salsa classes, cream tea, yoga course). Ivana believes that her stay in the UK improved her English language skills as well as increased her courage to communicate in this language. In her biology lessons, she will be able to use the vocabulary related to the themes of human body, health, plants and animals within the CLIL method.
