Dear Sir\Madam, I am Barbara Anna Zielonka and I am an English teacher at Nannestad High School, Norway. I am writing on behalf of all English teachers working in Nannestad High School ( www.nannestad.vgs.no).We are a middle sized school situated in the northwestern Akershus county, Norway and only 10minutes from the international airport Gardermoen. Nannestad High School is a young school consisting of around 700students and 100 teachers. It offers different educational programmes like general study, healthcare and social services, media and communication, preparational programme, restaurant and catering, service and logistics, sports education and training. Not only does the school use traditional ways of teaching but it also puts emphasis on new, modern approaches and methods that use available and emerging technology. This year we are extremely interested in the use of eTwinning technology for teaching English. We have started to use Skype in order to communicate with teachers and teenagers from English speaking countries during our English classes, but we would like to get more partner schools\ institutions in this communication experiment/project. We see that there is a great need in establishing contacts with young people who have similar interests and skills. We have already found that such lessons are very effective and all the students find the technology interesting and appropriate to their interests. If you are interested in this cooperative project please feel free to contact us. Together we can make better schools for our students using technology they are interested in and technology that can be effective in teaching. Yours sincerely, Barbara Anna Zielonka Barbara.Zielonka@nannestad.vgs.no www.nannestad.vgs.no

I am a teacher of English at an upper secondary school which offers students general studies to prepare them for higher education and vocational studies for those who wish to acquire a trade and enter the working force. One of my classes consists of students who are studying to be chefs and waiters. These are students who need to receive instruction and learning at their workplace, not in the classroom. They need to be offered alternative and innovative ways of learning the English language while carrying out their program field study. I have implemented the Content Language Integrated Learning method supported through a two year project with the Norwegian Centre for Foreign Languages in Education. This method has shown great success with these students. I have been out in the kitchen and restaurant with them using English as the target language. I now feel it would be very exciting to hook up with another school and share cultures through language and food. I would like to work with a teacher who is in contact with students studying tourism, catering, the restaurant, being a chef so that my students can exchange knowledge and experiences using English as the lingua franca. I look forward to an exciting project with you. Regards, Marianne Ruud
