Hi, my name is Adam. I'm looking for pen pals for a several week project with my Japanese students. This project will take place in June and July in 2010.
I want my students to have an opportunity to exchange English letters about Japan and themselves with students in other places around the world. I hope to exchange 1 or 2 letters total, and maybe some cultural gifts. Also, if the other school has internet access, we might even be able to work out a skype chat or video exchange.
Both non-native and native speakers are welcome to reply, and I'm willing to work with students of various ages. I'm flexible and I can work with schools that are much smaller or larger too. I can also work with multiple schools if need be. However, I will not work with individuals, because I want this exchange to be school to school.
My only real limit on this project is the date. My students will be writing these letters in June and sending them out in July.
There will be roughly 170 students ages 14 to 15.
Students will introduce themselves and things about Japan in these letters, but they will not share any personal information such as personal emails or addresses. Thus, there will be no plans for long term pen-pals, though we'd love to repeat the project the next year if it goes well.
P.S. I will be traveling to Thailand this December and January (2009-2010) and I will be traveling to South Africa in July 2010. If you have a school in one of these countries, let me know! I'd love to visit the school in person and meet the students and exchange videos! |
