Gannon & Gannon signs agreements with study abroad programs

In a drive to offer students more choices to further their education, Gannon & Gannon Language School has signed agreements with schools and facilities located in The United States, Canada, Ireland, and in Germany. These additional resources give the students attending classes the opportunity to choose how and when they participate in a program such as this. It is an excellent way to expand their knowledge of other cultures while being immersed in the language that they choose to study.

The study abroad programs focus on various programs that will help the student adjust and further their education to become competitive in today’s economical society. Acting as an agent for these programs allows Gannon & Gannon Language School to evaluate the student needs and to introduce them to an overseas school that will fulfill their desire to enter into the study abroad program. The advantage of using a school such as Gannon & Gannon Language School to help arrange the study abroad program is that the language requirements of the schools abroad can be met prior to enrollment into the selected program.

Many schools abroad require certification standard be met for certain schools and being a TESOL Authorized Certification and training center, Gannon & Gannon Language School can take care of this requirement. The TESOL Certification Program is an intensive course which provides participants with professional knowledge and skills in Teaching as well as tools for their own reflection and growth as teachers.

By preparing the student prior to entrance in to a university or another school of higher learning greatly decreases possible future trouble of not completely understanding the courses taught. This preparation dramatically increases the grade average of the student and allows them to get the most out of their education experience.

The Gannon & Gannon Language School was founded by Dennis and Petia Gannon in 2006, with the goal of providing a better understanding and a higher level of proficiency of the English language through professional teaching and training. Using communicative and student-centered methodology can make the educational process more effective, and enjoyable. Teaching in an easily understood manner has proven to help others learn to appreciate the different cultures.

The Enormous Turnip Returns

Back on May 18th 2009 the children from school #46 that were the beginning of the Time4Tots program started by the Gannon & Gannon Language School put on a play performed in both Bulgarian and English. The play was a huge success and the children performed great. Now as the new school year begins, the Director of school #46 asked the children to perform at the Bulgarian National Theater on September 18th for “The Day of Sofia” a holiday celebrated each year in Sofia, Bulgaria.
With no hesitation the children who put on the play “The Enormous Turnip” were once again ready to perform. This is a fantastic honor for all of the children and a show of appreciation for all of the hard work that they put into their performance and to help celebrate this holiday for the city. We hope that these continued efforts will inspire others to help the children in their communities.

The Enormous Turnip II

The play was a huge success and the children performed great. This play was written by their second grade teacher and then translated, the children learned their lines in a very short period. For most of the children in the play, the English language is their 3rd language so it made the task even tougher. Pictures from this event will be posted soon on the time4tots website.

program being held at their school and are performing the play to demonstrate what they have learned in class.

March 01, 2009

In the first month of this drive, there was a very welcomed appreciation from the students and parents. Given the opportunity the students participate in every activity that is held with the eagerness to learn and to display their skills. As for the future, we will have to wait and see if the participation in this effort will encompass more schools and students.

One of our most recent efforts to give back to the community and to the children in the community is to donate time and knowledge for those who want to succeed. In cooperation with the local school’s Director (#46 Elementary School in Sofia) and other teachers, we started making time for the after school program to help the students understand the English language. By providing a few hours a week and minor materials the students are able to get whatever help they want and it also helps the over taxed teachers.

Gannon-Gannon Introduces the Time4Tots drive

Gannon & Gannon language school is starting a drive to assist local schools improve their language programs for the children attending classes. Time will be donated weekly to help students better understand the languages they are studying in school. And we would like to invite everyone who has time to help in their own local communities.

Gannon + Gannon English School

Classes for everyone! Our goal is to make classes convenient for everyone to be able to get what they need out of learning the language used throughout the world. Each class is filled with the structure that you need, the conversational usage of the language, and the personal interest to make your experience as good as possible.
Why pay hundreds of leva to learn to read and not be able to use the language? Instead of concentrating on just reading, we’ll teach you how to express yourself both in writing and orally. We believe in teaching the language so you can read and also use the language when you need to. The benefits of using the language is that it is the most used language in the world today.
Our goal is to accommodate the pre-set programs to your proficiency level to help achieve the best results possible. During our English courses you will explore the real American culture and literature which is completely different from what you see on television and Hollywood movies. In each lesson of the program you will cover some of the events in the history of the United States, national holidays, customs and traditions of the people.
So why not learn it in a English speaking environment and get to use it while you learn it. Our one time price covers all the material you need for the course and we pace the classes to ensure you get the most out of them. Our rates are among the lowest in Sofia whether you need a schedule or by the hour, there is no comparison to the quality, price or education that we offer.
