I �m an English teacher from Belgium. I work with students who are between 13 and 16 years old. I �m looking for penpals for 2 different groups of about 20 students. I �ve never had pen pal projects but I would like to develop a project that would link students thanks to the use of computers (skype, tablets, mails, ...). 
I �m looking for a trustable and collaborative colleague and I would prefer to work with a group from Great-Britain because this would motivate my students (the final aim could be to travel to the pen pal country). 

Greetings from Belgium,

Hi Alice,

 

I don �t know how many UK-based teachers of foreign languages use this forum. You may be better posting on TES (https://community.tes.com/forums/modern-foreign-languages.28/) - you will have to create an account but it �s free and very easy. That way you can reach lots of UK-based teachers of modern foreign languages. They may be interested in your project. 

 

Another good way to reach out to lots of UK-based teachers is via twitter, using the hashtag #mfltwitterati . There �s a really vibrant community out there.

 

Good luck! 

Hello, Alice! 

I�m an English teacher from Russia, the city of Ulyanovsk (I �m sure you �ve never heard about it). I �ve been thinking about the same project for some time! And then saw your post here! 

My students are of the same age as yours! 12-15.

Are you still open for collaboration?) 

Looking forward to your reply!

Hello Alice and Kristina, 

 I �ve been thinking about a project for some time, I �ve never tried it before, but if you �re interested it would be great. My students are from 12 to 16

Dear friends,

I run a language school in Spain, and I teach both English and French.

I am looking for penfriends for my students (most of them are 5.17 years old).

I wonder if anyone would be interested in taking part in this project.

Please, do no hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

PAULA
