absolutely-intercultural

Elaine, I was very sorry to hear about your son. As you said that's why you are committed to build bridges between all sorts of communities for a better world. I was very impressed with the communication between the Talpiot students and the deaf pupils. I wish I could take the course too. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn about people, to understand what we have in common, to change attitude, without prejudice, and on top of it to improve my writing too.

i think it's a wonderful way to communicate with all sorts of people,online, from home,all over the world,without wasting time traveling,with your pyjamas.
as a teacher i can teach from home.
i can bring authentic texts, news,t.v. programs from all over the world. the students can hear and practice authentic prononciation and real voices.

Dear Sylvie,

I totally agree with you that using podcasts is very easy for us the- teachers. The kids also like it since it is more connected to their world- they use technology in their free time, and we should take advantage of it and make them use it for learning as well.
