Computers & Communication Using English to Communicate with Native English Speakers Final Project

Final Project

You must become an " expert" in one type of communication. Keep a diary of when you start and when you stop each session. That will be the first page of the Final Report. The other two pages should include stories of unusual experiences or problems or successes you had. Tell me what you learned. Don't worry too much about the language of your report. Spend more time on the communication and just  a little on the report. This isn't a writing class so a few mistakes are OK. 

Choose one area:

• email/keypals: Maintain regular (more than once a week) email contact with TWO people in English.

• Blogs: Regularly read TWO blogs in English, all comments included; one personal and one topical.

• Group Discussions: Choose one topic area (Movies, airline management, language acquisition, for example) and join TWO groups related to your topic. Monitor these groups at least twice a week.

• Synchronous: Visit various chat and Virtual World sites, at least twice a week.

Be sure to ask the teacher for help as you get started. He can point you to helpful places on the Internet.
