petrozavodsk.rfn.ru. Petrozavodsk is receiving a delegation of teachers and pupils from the Norwegian city of Tonsberg. Our Northern neighbours came to Petrozavodsk school N34 to exchange experience within the framework of the School - to School UNESCO international project.
Norwegians have visited the English language open lesson on the subject of School of My Dream in the 7th form. The guests were willing to learn everything - teaching methods, and technologies used at the lessons and, of course, communicating.
- We are amazed with the level of teaching mathematics, arts and natural sciences in Russia … Russian students are stronger and more educated from this point of view, and we have a lot to learn, - the coordinator of the project " School - has admitted to school ", the teacher of initial classes Bjorn Bauman.
According to Bjorn Bauman, the teacher in Russia contacts directly to the student, whereas in Norway everything is more computerized, and students communicate with a computer more often, than with a teacher.
In five years of communication within the scope of the School - to School project Norwegian and Russian children have made friends. They write to each other, keep in touch through the Internet and when Norwegian schoolchildren come to Karelia, they live in families. For children it os both a language practice, and acquaintance to customs and traditions of each other.
Guests from Norway also plan to visit the Padany settlement where they will spend two days with students and teachers of local school.
