Pen friends required for 11-13 year old boys
 
Hello everyone,
 
I�m a teacher of English in Malta. I would like to give the opportunity to my students (11-13 year old boys) to correspond with other students who are still learning English. Is there anyone who can help?
 
Thanks!

Hi Victoria
It�s me again.
We are going to start a pen friends project. Here in my institute there are five students interested. They are 10, 12 and 13 years old elementary level. Next week I�m going to ask at school because I work there from monday to thursday. Are your children only interested in writing to another boys or can be girls too?  I think I could send you the mail addresses of Compu-English Institute and Schools which has got internet conection. Children can check mails every time they come to english classes and we can supervise the replies. Do you agree? What�s your opinion? I�ll be waitng for your suggestions.

Hi Any,

 

Thank you so much for your reply ... I�m so excited at the idea! Here school kicks off tomorrow so hopefully by the end of the week, I�ll be able to tell how many students are interested in this correspondence project. I tried to set something up last year but the school was undergoing a lot of changes and we focused on other things ... hopefully this year we�ll manage! 

 

The students I�ll be proposing this to are at elementary level as well. Each student has his own school email address (secured) and in school we also have an internet connection available. It�s a good idea to have them check their replies during English classes.

 

If possible we can also try and set up a video-conference at one point too so that the students will be able to see who they�re communicating with and maybe we can carry out a small discussion on a topic we would have already prepared in class (obviously this will only be possible if multimedia resources are available and, in my case, if parents consent!).

 

What do you think? I�ll get back to you with more ideas this week as I�ll only be able to tell what can be possible once I meet the students.

 

Thank you once again!

Looking forward to start this activity ... which I�m sure will be extremely beneficial for the students!

One last thing ... I can be contacted on [email protected]
