Introduction to the library as part of Icelandic teaching

Teachers teaching Icelandic as a second language to adults have the opportunity to visit the Reykjavík City Library with their students. We offer an introduction to the operation of the Library as well as a treasure hunt in simple Icelandic. The participants work together to find useful and interesting materials and have a fun time together. A visit to the Library can make the teaching more authentic, practical and connect the lessons directly to society. We offer this program both for people who do not have a great knowledge of Icelandic and for people who understands and speaks the language well.
