00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:07,209
This learning situation is called the ARPENPAL and is aimed at a group of students in the third year of secondary education

2
00:00:07,669 --> 00:00:12,609
in the bilingual section. What they have to do is they have to write a letter to

3
00:00:13,130 --> 00:00:19,210
students who are living in Ireland and the main goal of this activity is to promote cultural exchange

4
00:00:19,210 --> 00:00:23,250
but also to enhance language proficiency and develop research skills.

5
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:26,170
Before writing the letter to their ARPENPAL friend

6
00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:32,450
They have to research this school in Ireland and they also have to research how this penpal writing works

7
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:38,369
The purpose, the structure or the content of a penpal letter. With all this information

8
00:00:38,409 --> 00:00:43,350
They will write their letters and they will also decorate the letter and create an envelope

9
00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:47,670
Once they have everything ready, they will send the letter through the post

10
00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:51,770
This learning situation will be assessed following a rubric

11
00:00:51,770 --> 00:00:56,530
the students will have the rubric in Aula Virtual and this rubric is divided

12
00:00:56,530 --> 00:01:00,549
into five different categories which are grammar, vocabulary, organization,

13
00:01:00,549 --> 00:01:05,349
information and presentation. Thank you very much.
