US Middle School Looking for Penpals
« on: June 29, 2017, 03:47:46 AM »
Hello! I'm a teacher in the US looking for a middle school in Korea to penpal with. The students will penpal by sending and answering video questions to each other. They would also send pictures of their campus, school events, and events going on in their city. The goal is to allow students to experience a culture that is different from their own. Looking to start in September. If you are interested, let me know!

Thanks!

Hi!  I'm really interested doing this with my second and/or third grade middle school students!  I need to ask my co-teacher first if this is possible.

If you still need a middle school class I am interested as well and would love to do this!
But here's a quick background, it would be for 6th grade class and they are a lower level. So some students are good and can somewhat communicate (I am from Korea, I like ___, i am good at ___, my favorite color is ___, I have a brother and sister, etc) while others don't know a lick of English. Of course there would be lots of help and whatnot.  But just wanted to give you that tidbit of info.

Hello! Excellent! I plan on teaching a weekly penpal with my Grade 1 middle school students from the mid/end of August.

Let me know if you're interesting!

I'm interested! I teach in a very small rural middle school in gangwon-do, and I think some of my grade 2 students would love to make videos and send them to penpals in the states!

I'm also interested in this! I'm looking for a project for next semester, and I think I could create a lesson about the US and part of the project can be talking to actual Americans.

hi! I'm interested in participating. I am a guest English teacher in South Korea. I would love for my students to participate, so they can practice their English. Please let me know if you would like to work together!

Thanks :)

I am interested in this panpal project.
My students are 7,8th graders and my 8th graders are quite fluent and I want to give them chances to introduce our school to your school students.

My school is in Seoul especially near Hong dae.
Hope I can get a reply from you.

Thank you.

At this point I'm wondering - did you already find a class to pair with? I'm also interested, as I'm sure it would be engaging for my students to have an American friend to talk with. Especially my first and second year kids; I feel like they really need some context for English to engage them! I teach 1, 2, and 3rd year middle schoolers in Gunsan city in Jeollabuk-do.
