Teaching methodology
At our school that knowledge, skills and abilities are implemented for teaching English, German and French, which the teachers have obtained not only studying on a linguistic faculty at university, but also the knowledge, skills and abilities, obtained on courses and trainings for language teachers and, of course, their own experience and accomplishments.
Teaching at primary and secondary levels is conducted according to a specialized programme, which is close to the one, used by specialized classes in English learning. The limited number of the pupils in each group allows the teacher to pay enough attention to every pupil and leads to the most effectiveness in teaching. Secondary schoolchildren and adults teaching is conducted at levels from basic to upper-intermediate.
The most modern British textbooks, which have the best recommendations from advanced methodologists, teachers and students, are used at our school. Except the main teaching kits, variousadditional materials, effective forms, means, techniques and methods in language teaching are used, which allows every student to apply and use the knowledge, which is gained during the lessons in high quality in real life.
A tradition of WOW Language School is holding celebrations and celebratory events, when we learn new theme words, sing songs, play games, as well as we make a holiday craft. There were a lot of celebrations hold during the school existence, such as the ones on the New Year occasion, the 8 March, the holiday of the Alphabet, “Easter Bunny” and “We are the Rescues”, which was the first celebration hold by own scenario and a lot of other celebrations on the occasion of the final day of the summer camp. Moreover, on the occasion of our school fifth birthday in 2014, WOW PARTY summarizing celebratory event was hold, and two years later – WOW BELL 2016 in the local central Culture House on the occasion of the end of the studying year. The students’ parents and relatives are always invited for such events, just to watch the children’s performance in the foreign languages and their gained results for a definite period of time of their studying at school and, of course, to enjoy the holiday and get positive impressions.
Organization and holding such kind of celebrations contributes to everyone’s feeling that LANGUAGE LEARNING is not just usual lessons, but also a HOLIDAY! LANGUAGE LEARNING is WOW!

History
Our WOW school has its own history. Everything had been taking its beginning when our teachers worked at state schools. For the first time it was difficult to work with primary schoolchildren as there was not an appropriate material base, so the teachers had to create flash-cards individually by copying pictures on a definite topic, they had to think HOW TO EVOKE THE STUDENTS’ INTEREST, how to make their lessons interesting and reach the results in teaching the children. An Owl came for help – the image which helped to create playing situations at the lessons, which is still living in our school, and which became the main part of the school name WOW (WISE OWL WELCOME).
For the first time, only pre-schoolchildren and primary schoolchildren studied at the school, but a bit later – senior schoolchildren and adults. Our students have good results in learning foreign languages, the prove of that is their high level of knowledge at the school subject in the language they are learning at WOW school and the adult students pass language exams successfully and use their knowledge easily in communication with foreigners.
