Project Week

Gymnasiums and higher vocational schools

Hello English! tailors the Project Week to the unique needs of the schools we work with. We help students improve their general English and business English.

The aim of the week is to get students to practice their language skills, especially speaking and listening skills, by creating an international setting in the classroom. English communication is the main focus of instruction.

The project lessons are structured based on various teaching methodologies including Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). These academic & creative teaching methods support self-confidence, encourage courage and make learning the foreign language more accessible to learners.

Our Hello English! curriculum was developed in cooperation with Austrian English teachers and our Academic Team, keeping in mind the Austrian national curriculum for English teaching! With every project, including workshops as well as theatre, music, and fun language-based activities, our projects really have something for everyone!

Some upper school classes also use this week to prepare for a Cambridge exam or the oral Matura or an oral final exam.

Primary schools

The younger children are, the more open and interested they are in new things. Young children learn incredibly quickly as they are very receptive. With Hello English! the children experience a foreign language in a playful and fun way and they are encouraged to speak English. Our native speakers always have exciting stories to tell from their own homeland.

Hello English! has developed a playful, varied and interactive A1 Primary school program that includes carefully selected vocabulary and activities suitable for younger learners. Among other things, we focus on key language chunks and vocabulary that are used in everyday life, such as talking about numbers, colours, clothing, animals, weather, vehicles, days, months and seasons to name a few.

At the end of the week, students can use their newly acquired language to have an initial conversations about where they’re from, what they love to do, what animals they like, and what color they prefer. Studies have shown that learning English from a young age can promote and have a significant influence on an adult language learner.
