Interview: Ria De Wilde123456I am a teacher of French as a second language in Flanders, Belgium. A fewyears ago I wanted to get my pupils more involved in their French lessons andso I started with eTwinning projects. My first project was with a class inPortugal. Last year I involved three classes and three partner schools inPortugal, Poland and Italy. This year I have just one class, and we are workingwith an Italian class. My pupils like this way of studying French as it bringsthem closer to real-life situations.I use a lot of ICT tools: websites, Skype, podcasts, blogs, forums, WindowsMovie Maker, Stickam, and Wiki, to name a few. Young people like tocommunicate through the computer. They do it in their spare time, and so nowwe use it in the classroom! The information we produce in the classroom ismuch more visible and pupils can then read it again at home, look at thepictures, etc. In this way, they do not create something that will then bestowed away in the school archives.I know they continue to communicate at home, as a lot of them use (MicrosoftMessenger) MSN. In the future, they will therefore be less frightened tocommunicate with other Europeans.For both my class and me, the main benefit is the pleasure that the projectsgive us. I like teaching in this way and my pupils like learning French this way!The contact with other European teachers and pupils is also an important asset.I was always interested in using ICT in my class, but with eTwinning, I wenta lot further! I am very grateful that I met Adelina Moura, my first eTwinningpartner from Portugal, through the eTwinning Portal. She introduced me to theimplementation of ICT tools in my lessons and I also found a lot of informationon the eTwinning Portal. Nowadays, eLearning is essential and you can achievethis with eTwinning.Go for it! Register on the eTwinning Portal and find a partner! Administrationis restricted to a minimum and on the Portal, you can find plenty ofinformation on how to start a project.It is not only interesting for the pupils,but also for the teacher. Everyone makes new friends all over Europe!61

While the teachers do this, pupils exchangeinformation about each other and work on their English skills.Interview: Naděžda Kadlecová1I started using ICT tools in my classes even before eTwinning was launchedthree years ago as I had worked with various European programmes such asSpring Day in Europe and ‘The Image of the Other’. My pupils really like thiskind of learning and my relationship with them and between each other haschanged a lot. I have left the traditional way of teaching and I have completelychanged my attitude. Nowadays I cannot imagine my English lessons withoutproject teaching methods. I even started cooperation projects with my youngestpupils last year. At the moment I am working in five projects with Portugal,Malta, Cyprus, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Greece. I have been very luckywith the partnership with Greece. We have become real friends and we areworking on different projects every year. We have visited each other and ourcooperation is more than being twins online; we have become friends for life.62
