Ministry of Education and Sport, Slovenia

Dear Ms Dasa,

I recently received your promotional example of the book "Don,t Give Up" and I was very much surprised about the quality of the project and the content of the book. I spread the information among the adult education learners of languages and I hope there will be enough interest also in our country to order your book. I feel very positive about it and I would really recommend it to those language learners who want to break the beginning of learning a foreign language. It is motivating and it contains the modern methodological approach to language learning and teaching.

I would like to thank you for the copy I received and I will certainly try to distribute it widely.

Best regards.

Dear Dasa,

I will place the book in the NICILT resource in due course, but in the mean time have passed it on for consideration to the Centre for Modern Languages manager in Belfast Metropolitan College, the largest Further Education college in Northern Ireland. I felt that it was particularly relevant to her sector and will forward your e-mail to her.

Dossierhouder onderwijsbeleid en lerarenopleiding

Dear Dasa Pelikanova,

Thank you very much for this very interesting work full of best practices!

I will pass all information about your book and the project to the international coordinators of our Universities of Applied Science and I’ll write a short report on it in our monthly Newsletter in January 2010.

I also will inform ACA, the Academic Cooperation Association (www.aca-secretariat.be) and ask them to mention your work and project in their widely read ACA Newletter.  In that case it would of course be good to send ACA as well a copy of it. The address is ACA, Egmontstraat 15, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.

And please give me some time to read the book first as a whole, before I can express my full view on it in the coming weeks.

Best regards,
