During the college years I was part of the team “Clubinho do Inglês”, a project
developed by my professor of English Teaching Methodology where children
from Escola de Aplicação da USP (a public school) have the opportunity to
learn English in a fun and meaningful way. Each course is designed to last
around 12 classes and it is project-based. At the end of the course children
have a concrete result of everything they have learned and are expected to
present it in the last class. During my internship I worked with a group of 6-8
year- old-children and a group of 9-11 year-old children.
