Students in a New Zealand class exchanged emails with students in Malaysia over several weeks to learn about each other's cultures. They wrote bios and asked questions about daily life and school in Malaysia. This allowed the students to practice communication skills and learn that physical distance does not prevent forming friendships online. While a language barrier and scheduling issues caused some problems, the students were excited to receive emails and gained an understanding of life in another country. The teacher plans to expand this international email exchange to involve Spanish-speaking students next.
