Dear Teacher,
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The tour visited Sicily in October, with its first ever performance in the province of Ragusa – thank you to the teachers and students there for your enthusiasm. You can see a delightful interview with the students of Istituto Comprensivo “Gesualdo Bufalino”, Pedalino here, and the first comments here. I would of course be delighted to visit your school.
See videos from all Roadshow tours, from 2005
