"The Teachnet”

started at the end of 2003.The purpose of this network is to give a place where teachers of English coming from different areas of the province could have the opportunity to share their experiences, methodologies, projects and dreams

We have been developing a collaborative work to improve the English language teaching; interacting among peers , exchanging ideas and working hard, making us to feel confident in the use of English
We are supposed to be agents of change…
