Epals- An exchange with American High School students


My students and I have recently started a students’ exchange with two American High Schools. One of these schools is located in Virginia Beach while the other one is located in Henry, Illinois. Both teachers and students are involved in this project.
Students have already started sending emails to each other. They are enjoying the experience and are finding it very positive and rewarding because they are learning about another culture and mentality. Besides, this is a safe way of knowing new people and sharing experiences. Last but not least, they have the opportunity of practicing their English with native speakers of English.
All this is possible by using the educational site: www.epals.com.

If we are a teacher or a parent, you can create monitored accounts for your students or children. If you are a student, you can ask your teacher to start a project like this.

Do you find this experience interesting?
