The eTwinning project helped students develop communication skills in English while also learning about each other's countries and ways of communicating.

This document describes a classroom activity where students in an S3 French class practiced ordering crepes in French and having short conversations with their teacher or another speaker. The goals were to expose students to an aspect of French culture, practice using basic greetings and questions in French, and build confidence speaking in a real-world situation. Feedback from both students and their teacher indicated that they enjoyed the interactive nature of the activity and felt it helped improve their basic French language skills while feeling less pressure than a typical in-class activity.
Spelling Competition
Cynthia Eliane RABESON organized French spelling training for a school's Word Wizard competition, where students had to learn and spell 225 French words. One student made it to the finals as runner up. The goals were to boost students' confidence in French and show they could memorize many words, while also improving pronunciation and forming friendships. Students from years S1 to S3 participated from December 2015 to May 2016. The project helped students become successful learners by reflecting on language learning, confident individuals through interacting in French, and effective contributors by working together in French. Feedback from students and a teacher showed increased confidence in French. Rabeson was moved by a student making new friends through the competition.
Pen Pal (S3-S5)
The pupils had to write letters in French and English to pen pals from France, practicing their language skills. The French students then visited Scotland in March 2016. The groups visited several local landmarks together in Glasgow, including Kelvingrove Museum, Glasgow Cathedral, and the Necropolis cemetery. Both students and teachers felt the program was a success in helping students practice language skills and learn about another culture through direct interaction and new friendships with pen pals.
Pen Pal (S3)
The pupils wrote letters to French students where half the letter was in French and half was in English to practice both languages. The goal was to improve writing skills in French, increase knowledge of French culture, and help students realize the importance of learning other languages. 35 students from S3 participated in the pen pal exchange from January to May 2016. The project helped students see that learning French allowed them to communicate with French friends and gain confidence that mistakes are okay when communicating in another language. Students also learned about each other's cultures through sharing details in their letters.
Museum Quiz
The pupils completed a French quiz about French paintings at the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow. The quiz questions covered vocabulary they had learned in class, such as numbers, descriptions of people, and colors, but in the context of art. The aims were to discover French painters and paintings, learn new vocabulary related to art, revise previously learned vocabulary, and work in groups and individually. Fifteen S3 pupils participated over two weeks in December 2015. The project supported the pupils in becoming successful learners by reflecting on how learning another language relates to acquiring their first language, confident individuals by interacting in French in a real-life setting, and effective contributors by working together and practicing their French.
Festival Traditions
The document summarizes a project introducing Spanish culture to 28 Scottish students. The project aimed to promote cultural awareness of Spanish traditions, festivals, cities, and food. Students learned about local Spanish events and monuments. At the end, students chose an aspect of Spanish culture to research further in an independent project. Quotes from students showed they enjoyed learning about Spain's different culture and were motivated to experience Spanish culture and learn the language. The teacher was flexible and engaged students by answering their questions, and was impressed by the creative projects students completed independently.
Cinema Club
The French Cinema Club showed French films with English subtitles to higher-level students to help them learn about French culture and associate language learning with fun. The club ran from October 2015 to May 2016. Watching the films helped students realize the importance of language learning to access other cultures, gain confidence in their abilities even with limited French, and discover another aspect of France beyond the classroom. Quotes from a student and teacher affirmed that the films improved language and cultural knowledge and the student looked forward to a time when subtitles would not be needed.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
