Abstract
The article constitutes an account of the summer program aimed at learning the English language and studying American culture, which was held in St. Mary Magdalene High School in Poznańin the years 2015-2018,thanks to the cooperation with an American organization WIESCO (Wisconsin International Educational Scientific Cultural Organization). The main idea for the program was to invite volunteers from the United States, who, in return for their stay in Poznań and sightseeing of the city and the Greater Poland region, conducted interactive English lessons as well as afternoon activities, which provided participants with an opportunity to master their language competence through immersion in American culture. During the four editions of the program, our school hosted interesting and committed instructors, who were eager to share both their work experience and professional knowledge, thereby enabling young people to develop communication skills and the ability to speak fluently.
