As we at the Language Centre are lucky enough to have created an online platform with integrated bb collaborate tools, I would like to widen access to those who are keen to use such facilities in order to give their students a "real life" connection with a school abroad. Today, in order to share this facility, I have created an open group. If you are a language educator and are interested please join the group and tell us which languages/countries you would like to connect with. We can then meet online to discuss and get the ball rolling. As a supporter of the Speak to the Future campaign in the UK I believe that we should make greater use of technology to make language learning more immediate to young people.
