Spanish Class Participates in Global Virtual Exchange Program

For the last month, students in Spanish 3/4/5 have been participating in a global virtual exchange program. They, alongside peers in other locations, completed coursework about interacting with people from different cultures and with different communication styles. Each week, the class meets virtually with a school in Fayetteville, North Carolina and Envigado, Colombia. During the meetings, students talk in small groups about what they have been studying and how the materials relate to their cultures and lives. This exchange has allowed students to connect with Spanish speakers abroad, as well as other language learners here in the United States. They have not only gained knowledge through this experience, but have also gained friends abroad!
