Classroom blog idea: Keep your study abroad students connected | The official blog of PikiFriends
My colleague Cody is a highly gifted polyglot, fluent in 6 languages: Arabic, Moroccan, French, English, Korean and Japanese. I’d love to have her brain for 10 minutes, what’s that like? Cody and I were talking today about PikiFriends, and she had one of those ‘why didn’t I think of that!’ ideas: “You know those high school study abroad students who go away for a year or so? Have them use PikiFriends as a diary of their experiences.” Can you see the potentials for learning? Situation: Students in your school use PikiFriends (or another blogging platform). Assignment: Both students write diary entries on PikiFriends on their profile page (parameters to be decided by the teacher – how often, free writing, topic-based, photos, 500-word minimum, etc.). Benefits: With a computer with an internet connection, the study abroad students are given a voice and a captive audience (I wish I had that!). Obviously, if these are ESL students it’s a goldmine of very interesting English input and output.
