Ten Towns in Ten Days

Meeting with teachers

Senior Fellow Carol Marsh traveled with Larisa Desyatkova from the US Embassy, took a ten day trip  to the southern part of Kyrgyzstan, covering 10 towns including major towns like Osh and Jalalabat and small villages like Myrzake and Suzak.

Along with the main goal of the mission- raising the qualification of English teachers through introducing innovative methods of teaching, exploring new ways of teaching English grammar, vocabulary and idioms as well as learning how to make presentations, the mission members also managed to discuss various problems during the  meetings with different organizations,  government officials and Rectors of Universities.

Meetings and seminars brought not only new and useful knowledge for teachers and other participants, but also for organizers, because they learned a lot of new ideas and thoughts of very many people that were ready to take the initiative to conduct many projects that go within the goals of the mission.
