epals for young learners

Dear teachers:

I teach English in Spain. My students are 6-12 years old. I would like them to write and receive (short) letters, cards, mail... from students with similar age and level. How can I find teachers with the same interests? Thank you.

Hello, Stella:

I have been thinking about it. My students may be too young for your students, as the "oldest" ones are 12.

We could try with your youngest students, why not? Is their level very high?

hello teachers,

I am also looking for some pen-pals for my students, they are 4 girls aged 11 and 12, with beginner level English.

In other words they are just starting to learn the basics! In a few weeks time they will have enough vocabulary to write a simple letter, and I think it would be a great experience for them.

Does anyone want to do an e-letter exchange at this level?

Thanks

Why don't you go to: www.epals.com. All you're supposed to do is join and make a profile of your school. Once it's approved, you will easily find a lot of e-pals. Anyway, visit the web site and you'll see the advantages of it.

Hope I helped.

Dear Umesh, I'd like to have my 9-10 year olds in contact with other students of the same age group from different parts of the world.

I work in a school of English, located in Mar del Plata, Argentina. If you are interested in an intercontinental exchange between your students and mine, get in contact with me.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi teachers:

My name is Patricia, I teach in Mexico City and my students are 9-10 years old. I'm sure some of them would really enjoy writing short letters or cards to students from different countries. Please contact me so we can find a way to do it.

Greetings to Spain...my heart's there!!!

Hi, Patricia:

I have just began this project with my students and I can tell you they are really excited!!. They find it very motivating.

We are a Primary School near Valencia. How many students have you got?

Looking forward to your answer,

 Vicen
