In our school they realize that they can get new and useful information through games and interaction. In our school we are using the most recent technologies; our students create their own blogs where they can share their own projects and the other students can leave their comments. Using Internet and special education sites they make movies, cartoons, try the role of the film director. Thanks to our new methods of education students become more sociable, open, and ambitious."
Olga Morozan - Interim Coordinator "Having been teaching English for 18 years, I have got the possibility to live the pleasure to teach students of different ages, especially adolescents, whose inner world is so rich and unique. I always try to feel the way my students might feel in my classes, thus, keeping them motivated and interested in all we do. The ACCESS project is a good way to combine all my skills into a single field: the experience as a teacher, as a psychologist, and as a coordinator, which contribute in achieving good results in teaching teens from all over the country.

Growing, discovering, exploring and reflecting became my guiding stars into the unknown. I am completely sure that he who dares to teach must never cease to learn. I always invest my students in their learning, target multiple learning style and interact positively and respectfully with students.
	Angela Osipov, Rezina My name is Angela Osipov, I am a French and English teacher and I like my job very much. I think teaching is a great opportunity to express myself, to build the tender souls of our students. The ACCESS Program gives me the possibility to discover new methods and techniques of teaching English. It's very, very important! I'd like this program to continue as I enjoy working here. I think, my students enjoy the program too.
"I have been teaching English at the high school level for 39 years after graduating from Chisinau State University in 1972. In 1997-1999, I participated with my students in the mutual Junior Program – Moldova-Pennsylvania. In 2003-2006 I taught “Methods and Techniques of Teaching English as a Foreign Language” at Comrat State University. I have been cooperating as a Resource Teacher with the Peace Corps in Moldova since 1993. Now I am the counterpart of the sixth volunteer in Ceadir-Lunga. I was awarded the title of “Distinguished Teacher of Gagauzia” in 2007."		Silvia Bahanov
	Diana Retcu, Ungheni I graduated "A. Russo" Balti State University and got my degree as a Bachelor in English and French Languages. I have been teaching for 16 years. During this period I came to the conclusion that teaching doesn't require nearly as much patience as people know. And if there is will people can study and improve any aspect of English. The last thing I would like to add is about the experience at the ACCESS lessons, they helped me to use the modern methods of teaching English and I thank you for this.
