HOUESSOU WORK-GROUP AT THE CORNER


During about two (2) months, Mr Paul-Marie HOUESSOU, Teaching Assistant at the English Department, has been supervising the "HOUESSOU Work-group". This special class session took place at the University of Abomey-Calavi (UAC - BENIN) in the UEMOA theatre and the corner's library. The main purpose of this work-group was to help the students in order to improve their writing and speaking skills. It was a very enriching experience for all of them and the ACUAC is working about the planning of two special class sessions the year to come. Right now, here are some pictures from the "HOUESSOU work-group 2012-2013".
