Subjects

Students work with a partner school to create bilingual phrase pages covering everyday topics like greetings, directions, and school life. They explore vocabulary, pronunciation, and practical communication through tools like Google Translate, and develop awareness of language diversity, usage, and function in real-life scenarios.
-
Students use collaborative platforms like Google Slides to co-create visual and linguistic content. They learn to search, edit, and insert media, use accessibility tools, and present ideas clearly in a digital format, building skills in online research, presentation, and multimedia communication.
