Bring the World to Your Classroom with Virtual Exchanges
Friday November 8, 2024 2:30pm - 3:30pm EST
Hennepin
Feedback Survey
Motivate your students to use the target language for meaningful purposes! Find out how Level Up Village can connect your classroom with a partner class abroad for virtual exchanges that are tiered by proficiency and topic. Your students will be excited to practice the target language with native speaker peers and find out about life in another country. (This is great preparation for language proficiency assessments that can be used to attain the Seal of Biliteracy!) You have the power to awaken students’ curiosity, build cross-cultural appreciation, and expand their awareness as global citizens.
