University of Abomey-Calavi

Mission:  My goal was making high school students know the importance of English and what they have to do to have a bright high school- University transition.

Project: Our vision was to show high school students the importance of the English language and give them some tips to ensure a good transition from high school to university.

On Friday, November 9 2018 we went to two colleges with two different teams. Each team was well prepared and once in the schools we talked with the students. They were shown not only to need English for education but also in the professional world. We tried to make them know that despite the fact we are in a francophone country, learning English must become a real challenge not to be neglected . They were also told about some tricks so that the secondary university transition would not become a difficulty but rather a pleasure for them. They really appreciated our action and promised to meet the challenges they were invited to. It was a great pleasure for both of them and us.
