How can non-native teachers help kids to develop english through internet? I made my students try to use key-pal exchanges. However my students had some trials, soon they gave it up. I think there are many reasons to stop exchanging. Why do you think they give it up?

the exchanging is quite time consuming and guarantees no sure encouraging results.

By developing their own English though the internet, and by sharing the experience.

Because it's not all that exciting to communicate with a person who you've never met, who you may have little in common with and who probably can't express herself/himself all that well in a foreign language.
Have you ever tried to keep a key-pal relationship going for an extended period of time? Has it ever led to mutual invitations and visits? If yes, where did you find the people?
