For the first time in Iran, Summer English Festival (2014) empowers ALL of the students in Saraye Danesh Schools to learn how to DEVELOP and PRESENT a unique English project. You can trace the progress of every student by clicking on the name of their school and their teachers' weblogs.


The students’ presentations and assignments will be marked according to these criteria: a) Content, and b) Delivery.
