Description
Two international students and one ESN volunteer go to an English class in our neighboring city of Gijón, here, they help teach students with intellectual disabilities so they can pass their English exams, as they are studying for a basic English certificate.
Result of the activity
The international students were gladly satisfied about the experience, the local teachers told us that they would want to repeat it, as they are sure the pupils learned a lot from the students, and we agree that it was a eye-opening and interesting activity for both the ESNer and the international students.
