Congratulations for your first E-twinning chat !

Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 05 février 2013, 22:55

To Cécile, Sélèna, Tom and Fabien,

Courageous you were to read and write in english for 1h20 after a week's work last Friday.

From home and in front of your computer you spoke to more than 15 pupils and teachers from Italy and Turkey.

You talked about the weather, your favorite activities, films, books, the differences in your school systems and your weekend occupations.

You used english as a tool to discover your new partners and it made you happy.

Your teacher was pleased and proud of you .

Let's hope this is only a beginning !

New Correspondants : When English becomes a tool to speak to the whole world !

Par Nelly Sallibartan (Collège Germaine Tillion (91)) le 05 novembre 2011, 11:00

The 3rd form Miller have received their first mail from the USA and some pupils of this class have also sent letters to Ireland.

The 4th forms have sent letters to Finland and to Italy and we're are waiting for the address of our third correspond in Spain certainly to send the last letters.

The 5th forms are still co-writing stories of the forest with pupils from Croatia.

We're quite international in Lardy, aren't we?

Some pupils from the 5th form Chasles are going to write stories about the forest with pupils of the same age and same level of English in a Croatian school.

To see what was done last year in Lardy with e-Twinning go there.

To celebrate the year of the forest, our correspondants have already made a presentation of the forest of Murscak, a forest near their town Cakovec.

Look at it on their school site.

And together let's celebrate it!

Autumn is coming and the forest will be beautiful.

Dear Nelly,

Thanks for your e-mail. My students will be sending their e-mails soon, but not all at the same time. The answers to your sustainability questions will be in English.

So sorry about Paul's disappointment: it's my fault. Kaylana dropped French in February, and I forgot to tell you. I will ask Matt Huang to write to Paul (I don't think Matt has gotten any letters from your students yet, has he?) Once we're settled into e-mail, I think everything will be easier.

What is the exact URL of your class's website/blog? We'd really like to see it, but still have had no luck finding it on our own. I'm not sure if maybe you sent it as an attachment, but it didn't come through.

Thanks again,

Katherine

Have any of your students received our e-mails? Students are writing one paragraph in French about their sports and activities, and one paragraph in English with answers to the sustainability questions you asked. I hope this is OK. If you'd like me to collect their responses in some other way, I'd be glad to do that.

Hope you've had a good weekend! Is the volcanic ash noticeable in Lardy, or was it? Some students had extended cross-cultural visits, due to the airport delays, and though very expensive for someone, there were some positive results, too.

Last week my 8th graders went to a French restaurant for a field trip! They spoke French quite a bit with our serveur, who was very patient and kind to them. Two of the chaperones were Mr. and Mrs. Giatzis, who hosted Julie Mathon and her family for a lovely evening about a year ago. We all wish the Mathon family well, and hope there may be more visits between our penpals in the future!

A bientot, Nelly,

From Matthews North Carolina USA on May 4th 2010

Hi Nelly,

How are you? It has been a while since we last spoke. I wanted to let you know that I sent off another set of hand-written letters in the mail today. Your students and the students of your collegues should be getting them within the next couple of weeks. We discussed writing through email, however my school does not give the students their own email accounts, and all email websites are blocked from school. Some of them don't have computers or internet at home, and so we realized that it was going to be quite difficult for many of them. We have spent the last several weeks preparing for an end-of-year exam that each student will take starting next Monday, and so we have not yet had the chance to look over the questionnaire you sent us a while back. We will not see the students next week as they take the exams, but I should be able to discuss the questionnaire with them the week after. I'm not sure what the schedule is in France, but we are nearing the end of the school year. After exams next week, we only have 3 weeks left, so I don't believe we will be able to get another set of letters off to you before the end of the year. Anyways, I hope you are doing well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Take care,

Erin McGinnis
