The WPU Erayim’s ‘Summer Courses for English Language for Teachers’ project, supported by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) continues its work.

The next summer courses for teachers to improve the level and methodology of teaching English will be held from May 29 to June 9 this year. Courses will be held in the secondary school named after T.
