Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2013 Newsletter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A mini dictionary containing simple phrases of daily
use was created in various languages too. At first
my students could not interact through VoiceThread
because of the slow Internet connection at school
so they used Quizlet as an alternative. They wanted
to be involved in the activity in any case!

programme the students could join while at
university.
Some past Erasmus students talked about their
experience and how much they liked it and how
much they have grown up since then. They
highlighted how they improved their language skills
easily and how they feel more confident now after
the stay in a foreign country and university. At the
end of their speeches some younger girls aged 14
proposed their eTwinning project “TAM TAM“ and all
