Still searching for pen pals

Post by bett » Mon Sep 15, 2003 4:27 pm

Ok...
:roll: We're still looking for some pen pals for these awesome ESL kids.
I've got 21 students-- boys and girls--ages 11-14. (This can all be done using email.)
This can be a simple pan pal (practice your English) type of project, or we can even take it further and do some culture studies. I'm open to any ideas!! (I'd even like a pen pal for myself! I'm tired of coming up with all my lesson ideas on my own.) :wink:

Anyone interested?

:) I´m quite happy that other teachers of English are looking for epals,too.

My group consist of 24 students, one third girls, two thirds boys.
They have been learning English for 4 years and are - generally speaking - quite good at English. Their hobbies and interests are the typical ones of teenagers aged 13-14.

I would like to start an email-exchange programme with your class, but it is the first time I´m doing such a thing.

Probably the best ideas are:
Make a list of students who are really interested.
Match them with a partner.
Make them write emails on a disc, use the school computer and send it to the other school.

First subject: introduce yourself, your family, your hobbies, your school etc.

Would that suit you? If so, send me a replay and we can start with the lists of our students.
Have a nice weekend - the weather in Germany is still beautiful!

Take care

Johannes
