Transcript of Learn English with Apps - magazine 1
ABOUT US
Learn English with apps: the purpose of this project was to make students test and write
about apps that can help them improve their English language skills. The project aimed at taking
advantage of a powerful and engaging learning tool the students smartphone. Considering
the huge amount of apps everywhere, the project wanted to make students test some of them
(chosen by the teachers) for some time and see if they were effective or not.
The final products of this project are 2 digital magazines, logos and some posters. Twinspace
and Google Docs were used by students and teachers, allowing everyone to work in the same
shared files.
The Teams:
Poland (Zesp Szk Zawodowych im. w. Barbary w Bogatyni)
Portugal (EBI So Domingos, Covilh)
Portugal (Mira de Aire Secondary School, Mira de Aire)
Turkey (Darca Anadolu Lisesi)
We hope you enjoy our first magazine!
