On this event, students not only act on different stories, but they are conditioned to speak clearly with correct pronunciations and accent using excellent British English vocabulary.

They learn to use digital tools to create their very own versions of story books by inserting images of characters, recording own voices to re-tell the story page by page and even type them according to their own liking.
