Mohammad,

I think it would be a wonderful idea for my English class (12-14 yrs) to understand what it is like to live and learn in Iran!  At times, their views are extremely limited and shaped by what they hear on tv or read. This would be a great way for them to realize how kids are really very similar all over the world!

I hope to hear from you,

Sonya W

Dear Lina,

I am an English teacher too here in Iran and would like to share ideas with you. Please send an email to me.

Best regards ,

Mohammad

>My name is Lina and I am an English teacher in a rural, public Primary School in Georgia. My 5th-6th 7th -8thgraders are currently getting familiar with the email writing process and are looking forward to exchanging emails in English in the next school year (2009-2010). It will be a class of 15 learners, aged from 11 to 12. They are interested in finding out what it is like for their peers to live in other countries, their hobbies, customs, traditions... As for me, being their teacher, I aspire to improve their writing skills in English by engaging them in a real-life activity that they like. We prefer to correspond by email, at least once a month, and would love to arrange video conferences, provided of course that our school will be fully equipped for this next year. We, students and teacher, are enthusiastic about it and have been preparing since the current school year! We look forward to hearing from you!
