This document discusses various projects undertaken by an Italian school to provide students with opportunities to practice their English skills in meaningful ways. The projects include a student exchange with a school in Denmark where students communicated solely in English for two weeks, a virtual exchange where students from Italy, the US and Netherlands collaborated online, and an e-twinning project where Italian and Polish students shared information about their cultures through a blog. The goal of these projects is to enhance students' English proficiency, especially their speaking and writing skills, by using the language in real-world contexts that relate to their lives and interests. Feedback indicates students felt more confident in their English abilities and that their skills improved as a result of having to use English for meaningful communication.
