Skype to meet you in the global village

Dear classmates,
Hope you to tell your classmates. We will use Skype to talk with the students and teachers from the global village. Thanks!
Topic: Thought for Computer-assisted Language Learning
Wish you can develop your opinions and suggestions in it.


Best wishes,
Delin 喬



Dear Delin,


We have a Chinese professor for 200-level students, Zheng Zhang, who would be interested in a Skype project. This semester we carried out a successful Skype project between our Japanese students and native speakers studying English at Tsuda College in Japan. We will add a Skype project between our Spanish students and native speakers in Baja, Mexico. Our foreign language labs are set up to facilitate these projects and we are currently constructing a Moodle site to streamline the process even more.


Our Spring term starts on January 16. Let me know if we could set something up.
