We have pleasure in informing you that the English Department at the Higher Institute of Technological Studies will be organizing“Let’s Speak English” days on the19th and 20th of May, 2010.
All people working, teaching and studying at ISET and our guests are invited to speak English. Anyone not choosing to adhere to this rule will be required to purchase one dinar “language waver”. All the proceeds from the wavers will be donated to associations for people with specific needs.
These special days are meant to give students, teachers and administrators as well as our guests from the world of Industry and Commerce plenty of exposure to English and an opportunity for cultural exchange. It is also to sensitize students, teachers and people involved in business, commerce and the world of industry and media to the importance of ‘investing’ in learning and/or improving their English.
