We want to write!!

Post by daisy2250 » Sat Aug 26, 2006 11:16 pm

I teach in a small Eskimo village in Alaska and I am looking for keypals for my students. Although they do speak English my students need LOTS of practice in many different areas. We wrote to students from Japan last year and are looking to expand our knowledge of the world around us!!

I have 12 students ranging in age from 11-19. Some of my older, more advanced students could handle writing to more than one keypal.

Hi Daisy, I teach in a small town in Northern Italy, to students aged 11 to 14. I have a group of about 20 14-years-old students who could be interested in e-mailing with your students. Their English is not very good, though, and I have never tried this teaching method before. How would you suggest to organize the correspondence? Do you have topics you want to discuss, .. and do you have any positive experience about e-mail projects? I'd like to try but I wonder if they have something to say to each other...
Let me now.
Thank you and bye.
Federica

Hi,
I have a group of 17-18 year olds, upper-intermediate level, 13 people who would be interested in an exchange of ideas.

If you are interested - what did you have in mind?
Should we go into topics of the country (school here, subjects, teachers, school times, countryside, freetime acitivities, various concerns and interests)? Or do the students read any books, that could be made reference to?

We live in a German-speaking area in Northern Italy, near the border to Austria: South Tyrol. The students attend a German-speaking school and speak also Italian and English.

If this is of any interest to you - let me know.

Good bye
Martha

Key Pals

Hi, I have students of all ages (Kinder to 18yrs) ready to go with the key pals thing. Traditional pen and paper is probably best.

let us know if you are still interested
