Hi, Kristi!
I teach English in Ukraine, Dnepropetrovsk oblast, Krivoy Rog. I want to show my students the way to use language for communication, for getting some information of culture and lifestyle of american students. I think this project and you personally could help me to show the benefits of learning English. Thank you And, by the way, I would like to improve my own knowledge of English.Because it is said live and learn, I guess it's my motto.
Bye!

Pen Pals in South Dakota!

Unread post by teachforhope »

Hello!

I am currently teaching at a Native American reservation in South Dakota and would love to have some pen pals for my students! I teach writing, grades 6-8, and have about 80 students. Please let me know if you would be interested in setting up a pen-pal exchange between our students through snail mail/regular post. I am sure my students could learn quite a bit from yours, and the different cultures could be very enriching for our students! Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested!
Thank you for your time,
Alexa Talamo

Hi Kristie,
My name is Merche. I am a Primary School teacher teaching English as a foreign language to children aged 8 to 12 and I would really love to take part in a pen pal project.I have commented this idea to my pupils and they love it and they're very keen in starting this project. I think it's a good way to motivate and improve their language skills.

By the way I am from Spain. ( Caceres ) near Madrid. So the cultural exhange would be great even though my pupils are younger, it would be a great experience for them.

I would really like to hear from you soon.

Spanish penpals look for English penpals

Unread post by azulena »

Hi everybody!!

My name is Susana. I am an English teacher from Spain (Valencia). I am really interested in finding pen pals for my students at Compulsory Secondary Education (14-15 years old). I think this is a very good opportunity to show our students the numerous advantages of learning English. They can communicate with people all around the world, they can get to know different customs and traditions, they can access to all sorts of information, among other things.

My students like the idea of getting to know students from English speaking countries, because they can improve their language skills at the same time they are having fun.

If you are looking for Spanish penpals, please contact me. Our students can help each other both in Spanish and in English.

Hi Kristi,

I work at a maritime university in Tampico, Mexico. My students would really like to participate in an e-pal program with your students!! My students range in age from 17 to mid twenties. I teach four groups of approximately 25 students each and my three colleagues also have four groups of approximately the same size. Is it too late for us to participate with you?

Our school's website is http://www.fidena.gob.mx/fidena where you can find out more about us and what we do. My students will be future captains and mechanical engineers for the merchant marine (commercial shipping industry) so English is really important for them.

Please let me know if we can fit into your project, because I think it would be a fun and rewarding experience for both our schools.

Take care,

Lynda Deckard Ramos

Hello Kristi,
My name is Beatriz and I teach at Pedro Peñalver High School in Cartagena, Murcia. Actually, the school is in el Algar, which belongs to Cartagena, in the southeast of Spain. I would be really interested in being your "pal" class. The students that could participate in the program would be those in the 4º ESO class, around 15 years old.
This group of students are not doing very well in English and I think that it would be very motivating for them to use the language to communicate with other teenagers. I am sure that my pupils will be really interested in this activity.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,

Beatriz

Hello Kristi,
My name is Elena. I am from Russia. I am a teacher of English. My students are 12 years old. Their level of English is elementary. We would like to make a project and share our information, photos, pictures with English- speaking students. We are interested in the history, traditions, places of interest etc. of our region. I am looking for colleagues whose students have the same interests and want to tell us about the place where they live. I`ll be glad if you feel enthusiastic about this idea.. This is the first time I am making an attempt to make a project.
My e-mail: [email protected]

Hi,
I'm an English teacher from India teaching 15-17 year old boys. Are you still looking for penpals for your students? My students are interested in having penpals from other countries. Since they are from a rural background, they have very little exposure to English and are not so good at it. I personally think this is a good opportunity to create and sustain their interest towards the language. Further, we can exchange information.
Best regards,
Rashitha

Hello,

I'm an English teacher in India. I teach 15-18 year old boys who are not very good at English. I think the idea of having penpals abroad is a good one for my boys to improve their communicative abilities. Further, there seems to be scope for a cultural exchange too. My boys will be back after summer vacation in the first week of June. So, if we can get started in the meanwhile, we can immediately begin communicating.

Best regards,
Rashitha

I wish our school could become one of your partner school. I teach English to 15/16/17 year old students in the South West of france, I will have different classes next September and I would really like to get my students involved in any project so that they could practise their English and share other students' interests. Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
