FRANCE- GREECE: MISSION EM(AIL)-POSSIBLE!

11.02.2011

Mme Markoulaki, a teacher of English from Greece, and myself have organised an email exchange between our pupils.

'Maria Markaki' school is a private language school in Heraklion, Greece.

My 50 students are in year 7 C and 7 D and the Greek students attend B' Junior, A' Class and B' Class (read more about it here).

We are all so excited to engage in this type of communication!

Emails to follow will include exchanging cultural information and sharing amusing language activities, such as tongue twisters.

This is a sample of the exchange which has started:
