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.
