On August 28 at 5:30 PM, we warmly invite everyone to the presentation of Kaarin Aamer’s book “Aleksi’s Summer”!
Kaarin Aamer:
“Dear Estonian language teachers, learners, and all those interested!
I am delighted to announce the release of my 170-page graphic novel ‘Aleksi’s Summer’, created for learners of Estonian as a second language. The illustrations were made by my 12-year-old daughter.
This work was completed as part of my master’s thesis (supervised by Mare Kitsnik, University of Tartu Narva College).
The graphic novel is intended for approximately grades 6–8, at the A2–B1 language proficiency level.
Before creating the novel, I conducted research to identify the topics that interest teenagers the most. These topics are reflected in ‘Aleksi’s Summer’.
The book is also suitable as simplified reading for children whose native language is Estonian!”
