Welcome Emma!!!

Emma Greaves is a young  University student from England. She`s    Language Assistant with the British Council  and will be working in La Plata for four months. She has visited our class  and has  introduced us to her country and the cultural diversity that means being British in the 21st century.  This is the second time a Language Assistant works in our Institute and it`s a pleasure to share knowledge, culture and friendship with them. (Alice Roughton visited us two years ago).
It is also good to remember, as Emma pointed us, that the British Council  programme for "Asistentes de Idioma" is also available for Argentinian students to work in the UK. If you want more information, click here.


Emma will be working with us for the rest of her stay and we hope that many classes benefit from her warmth, knowledge and understanding. Besides , her accent is extremely clear for all!!! Thanks, Emma!!!

Alice in La Plata

Alice Roughton, Language Assistant with the British Council has visited our class. She introduced us to her country and the cultural diversity that means living in modern UK. She also made some key concepts very clear. Her natural warm ways and the good will she showed for our questions and curiosity made it an excellent moment to share knowledge and friendship.
Here is the PPP she made for us with key concepts to understand UK´s culture better.
Luckily for us, next week she will visit us with a talk on the "War Poets".
Thanks, Alice!!!
