As I told you in October (2014) this year I will continue with my project of interchange by computer.
I would like to know if you continue interested to participate. I have the program and the activities you would do with your students. Of course they could be modified if we consider necessary.
Students here began classes on January 19, but the activities of the project starts in February. I am going to work with sixth graders (boys and girls).
The idea is that they are going to contact by internet with our guidance. If you need any letter or certification of my school I send it. Some of the requirements is that parents must know about the project and have to authorise to take photos or share videos. I would send you the letter.
I will expect your answer. As I told you before,I am sure you will like this project. It would be wonderful our students have the opportunity to share information about our cultures and more!
8/01/15 Hello from Belarus! I'm happy, Dora, to get some news from you again. We'll take part in your project with great pleasure! Our students begin classes on January 12. I'll be waiting your insructions with impatience. Our head-master knows that we're going to take part in the project with you. Our students're looking forward to get acquainted with yours. They like to make new friends. I'm waiting the news from you! With best wishes, Svetlana.

9/01/15 Dear Svetlana: Wonderful! I am sure we will enjoy this experience and and simultaneously we are going to learn about our countries and cultures. In the first part I am going to send you the program I organized to develop during the year, probably we have to change some activities or dates, no problem. If you have any suggestion or question, perfect! Please tell me the name of your school. In our case I am going to write, José Manuel Restrepo - Colombia (JMR-COL). Best Regards. M.L.

13/01/15 Hi dear Svetlana: Did you received my plan activities? What do you think about it? I send you the link of the British Council platform. The objective is that we find together there and have space to work our project.
You register and in MY SCHOOL PROFILE "you upload a letter written on headed paper and signed by your head teacher to confirm your name and position and showing the name of the school. This is to ensure the security of our Schools online website". This a request from British Council.
This is one option to find together in the platform. I use this option, because we don´t have platform, but if you have in your Institution one, we can use it.
20/01/2015 2015-01-20 2:55 GMT-08:00 Светлана Абесадзе : Hello, Dear Dora! I've studied your plan activities and should say that I like it very much. I've regestered on the British Council platform. My account is Svetlana Abesadze and I've also registered MY SCHOOL PROFILE in my account. (It was approved) And what should I do now? I'm looking forward the news from you. With best wishes, Svelana.
It´s great to hear from you and your interest in the project!!!
I haven´t sent you information yet, because I wanted to send you the list of my students and the results of the english test.
I send you the test I applied to my students last week. I took these results to know how much they know of english and to give you the option to organize pairs according to each student level.
You can apply the test if you consider necessary to know your students level, if not, please give me back the list with your students names according to the level. 100 is the highest.
The next step is to apply the diagnostic test, which consist of a writing text. It is the third page of the english test document. If you prefer I can send it in english. But it would be a nice opportunity for you to learn english, jejeje. don´t you?
Don´t apply the writing text yet, bscause is better to know before the name of each pair students, in this way they feel more motivated to write. We can apply it as soon we have both lists.
Always is nice for me to have news from you and your students. You told me about your head-master, say hello from me. I hope we have the opportunity to have a meeting by Skype, soon.
I send you a video about tandem project I developed with New Zealand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gen8kWPs0fs
Soon I will send photos of my students. I haven´t receive the camera yet.
Did you receive the information I send you on January 13th? This is the record of the activities we should do up to day.

It is not mandatory for you.

Hoy he ingresado a la plataforma de School On-line para buscar a Svetlana, pero como no se el nombre del colegio no ha sido posible encontrarla. Le he enviado un correo haciéndole esa pregunta.
Hello, dear Dora! Sorry for my long silence. We've done the diagnostic tests and the most part of our students've written the letters to yours. I'd like all of our students to write the messages to yours and then send them to you. The problem is that in our project students from different classes'll take part. During our English lessons each class is devided into 2-3 groups. So I've asked my colleague to help me to find a pair for each of your student. Is it OK? Her first name's also Svelana and the second is Moroz (she's registered in the British Council platform) I'll try to finish with our letters as son as possible!
The name of our school is Vitebsk State Secondary School № 46.
It is nice to have news from you and your students! No problem, I understand your situation. Take your time. My students wrote a message from yours about personal information. As soon as I receive your students list I will send you the messages. I have 40 students, if you have more we can organize groups of three students, specially with the highest level.
If you agree you can send me the list with (grades or marks) and I organize the diadas/pairs. Send greetings to your colleagues and head staff. It is wonderful to know that not only you are participating in this project!!
