Notas do Editor
- Make sure you yourself are familiar with all the mechanics of the things you are going to be doing in your project
- One teacher (a french teacher) we worked with had her whole class write their introductions first in french, then translate back to English, both to simplify the language, and to give her students an idea of how hard it is to communicate in a second (or third) language
- Photo: example of flexibility – students not comfortable in KG posting pictures of their own food for fear of looking poor – went and took photos at their markets of food staplesPositive example – add a skype call if students have lots of rapport, (Sabetha, KS)
