Chat with students around the world!

It is sometimes difficult to get students to use language in class, especially in a meaningful way.  However;   there is a strategy that encourages the use of written and oral language to communicate in an authentic way and it is the chat platforms.  This year, students had the opportunity to use Google Hangouts as a practice scenario of improving English language skills by interacting with native English speakers in a genuine conversation. 

Our students had the possibility to interact with students from New Jersey in USA,  thanks to Joseph J Filoramo; Spanish teacher of Roxbury High School in that city.

It is an excellent activity if we consider how it helps to develop students’ comprehension, speaking, written and vocabulary skills whilst interacting with English speakers.
