Lesson 4 -
PEN FRIENDS / FREE TALK LESSON
Lesson Objectives
To allow the
students to contact other students in the UK - Pen Friends - in order to
improve their written skills and enable them to find out more about
student life in the UK
The second part of the lesson will involve discussion - this is to
encourage students to speak in groups and learn how to communicate more
effectively.
Lesson Activities
Students tell us
about their Pen Friends - and we discuss the options for setting up pen
friends in the UK. Second part of the lesson involves discussion in small
groups. Pen Friends
Pen Friends,
(normally called Pen-Pal's) can be people that you write letters to, or
people you send e-mail with.
We are going to set up
links for students in our university with students in the UK. If everyone
can write a letter to the UK we will post them altogether. (More
information to be given in lessons)
