I think ePals help teachers to
create authentic opportunities for our students to talk, share, learn and
collaborate with their classmates and other students around the world. And also
I think ePals could help our students to get a glance at other countries’
culture and give them a chance to practice their English skills in authentic,
natural and spontaneous ways.
EPals is like a window that could
lead students to the more authentic language context and actually “touch” the
language or really know someone who is at the other corner of the world using
the language everyday!
On the ePals webpage you can have a
lot of opportunities like search by projects and then find some interesting
topic you would like to engage to. Or you can collaborate with a classroom by
searching by country or searching by project. If you are a teacher, you can
find a lot of useful resources such as you can see various teachers’ work in
various topics. One can even search by
families and get to know what other culture’s families look like.
All in all, ePals is a wonderful forum that can allow teachers and
students all over the world to collaborate together.
