REZULTS
This project brings together students from different places, backgrounds and cultures. So
students make friends, exchange experiences and learn about their countries and cultures. It is
also an opportunity to develop English language and write with a purpose. By writing letters,
our students will overcome lack of confidence and learn cultures of their friends.
During the Project, students will write texts about personal information, personality, family, likes
and dislikes, abilities and skills, school life, daily routine, their hobbies and their lifestyles on
digital platforms.
The texts will be exchanged prediocally. Students get know each others and use the vocabulary
and grammatical structures studied in class. They will practice their English. While doing this
they will use new Technologies and different kinds of Web2.0 tools.
Students will create different types of presentations using different kinds of web 2.0 tools and
other software.
All in all this project aims at intercultural interactions.
