| 43979 - de Tim (Philippines) - 2012-04-07 : "Pen pals in UK" |
I am living in the Philippines. I have recently been reading English in various schools in the Anda(Pangasinan) area. Many students have expressed an interest in beginning basic Penpal arrangements with UK children, using the old-fashioned method of writing letters. The average class sizes are around 40 children, but I believe an inter-school Penpal arrangement will benefit both pupils and schools by this medium.If any school/teacher would be interested in trying to establish this relationship,I will be happy to organise the Philippine side. The schools in Philppines do not have sophisticated IT facilities,but the use of letter-writing will be useful both from an academic side, as well as creating international understanding and friendship. Please reply with your thoughts. |
