"Experience in English”

Language Skills in oral English both on and off the farm base

This certifies that
Michael Frangenberg
has completed an 


advanced 75 hour course

requiring a wide variety of experiences
speaking only in the English Language

 

On arrival, Michael was assessed on his current abilities which showed that he was already very capable of understanding English conversation at speed. For all 7 days he took part in activities and conversations that were not adjusted for him as a German first-language speaker. He added vocabulary as needed and followed instructions to a level that proved his ability and comprehension.
Michael proved to have a sound vocabulary & advanced language skills in conversation in English
Activities were thus tailored to mostly involve “one off” experiences
designed to strengthen his acceptance of his linguistic ability.

Activities on the farm included 4Xwheeler driving lessons; feeding out hay & rounding up cattle; feeding horses; milking the house cow; feeding poultry; building a new fence to create “Michael’s Feld”; taking a quiet part in intensive discussions over meals.
Michael is computer competent (in English also) assisting preparation of web pages, rapidly learning “Microsoft Front Page”

Michael milking, computing, at top of volcano, feeding hay and driving 4Xwheeler, feeding poultry, with Kopu, and collecting eggs.

Final Result: Michael is a proficient English speaking person
