The project is about motivating every student (even living in the disadvantaged areas and who are lacking of opportunities; having the learning disabilities, the disadvantaged students emigrated from different countries) and make them to be integrated into the activities we do in the class. Students will be able to speak English willingly, learn and use some of the web 2.0 tools during the project, have interest in learning English, produce the materials, use ICT, improve their language skills, so students will be the digital citizens.
