|
|
I�m looking for penpals for some middle school students here in Busan, South Korea. I'm a British Native teacher working at a private academy.
I have a class of 5 students, 3 girls, 2 boys, aged 13-15, intermediate level. My students would like to improve their English skills by making friends with students who can write to them in English also - either fellow ESL-er�s or native speakers. I�d like to use snail mail to begin with, to practice the art of letter writing and to make the initial contact more personal, including photos, country postcards, stickers etc. I�d really like to get them writing next month, with an aim for exchanging letters at least once a month. If interested, please PM or email [email protected] |

Is there anyone out there teaching at a secondary school with some students who would like some Korean penpals? |

Can't help either, but have you considered corresponding with non-native speaking students? Considering how many people use English as a lingua-Franca it's not such a bad idea. (I still relish the sight of a Dutch motorist asking French teenagers directions in English earlier in the year, and getting them!) |

Haha yes Sue. Reminds me of 'Mother Tongue' the book by Bryson where he speaks about these sorts of situations. |
