A Finnish-Swedish connection
Scheeleskolan and Liedon Keskuskoulu have set up two Skype sessions for young English learners in 2017. The first session took place on January 20 and the second on February 17. The topic to discuss was how the students would spend the sports holidays. The pictures show the Finnish class seen on the computer of the teacher in Sweden. You may also notice that there is a small inset picture of the Swedish students in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.
In spite of some problems we had hearing each other, a couple of students on both sides could eventually talk to each other about the weather this winter and their plans for the sports holidays. The students in both schools obviously had fun during the Skype sessions and as teachers we see a potential for a linguistically and culturally enriching cooperation on an international level for our students and ourselves.
