As I told you last week, we are about to start a Skype Conversation Exchange between the TOEFL groups (Regular and Blended) and the students of Spanish 149 at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.
We've already started a blog at: http://www.canada-argentina.blogspot.com/ to post our introductions and get to know each other before the actual conversation exchange starts. If you are willing to take part in this project, just let me know and I'll send you an invitation to join the blog as authors.
This project will be based on the principles of Tandem Learning. You will work in pairs with a language partner and together you will decide on the topic, frequency and length of each conversation based on your specific needs and interests.
I'm sure we'll all profit from this educational and cultural experience!

Hi, Vani!
Thanks for dropping by!
Once a TOEFLer, always a TOEFLer, right?
Hugs :)
Hello Carla,
I'am interested in the exchange. But I need more data. Number of sessions, time schedule, etc.
See you on Monday.

I would like to participate too.
See you
Hi, Aldo and Mariana!
The exchange will take place from May 19th till the end of June.
When you post your introductions on the Exchange Blog, you have to include your time availability and then, you will decide on the frequency or the number of sessions together with your partner.
If you have further questions, we can discuss them this evening in class. :)
Best regards, Carla
I've already accepted the proposal by e-mail but I wanted to do so in the blog as well. I strongly consider this opportunity to be highly valuable and I'm keen on takin part as long as I can adjust my timetible since it is a bit tight at the moment.
Thanks! See you today!
