During this year’s summer school, native speaker and musician Ashok Dhillon is staying as a guest in Mariastein at the Gasthof Kammerhof, bringing an inspiring and practical English-learning experience to local students.

His involvement with the children begins early each morning: Ashok accompanies the students on their bus ride from Mariastein to Langkampfen. English is spoken right from the commute, creating a friendly and immersive language environment before the school day even officially starts.

Throughout the program, Ashok visits every group to conduct interactive English conversation sessions. A special highlight took place right at the beginning of the Summer School when the children, together with Ashok, sang a song by Bruno Mars for Federal Minister Christoph Wiederkehr. Following the musical performance, they discussed the vital importance of actively using and applying the English language in real life.
