The aim of the project to share our learning together and we just to be part of the community and part of the learning second language.
In addition, I loved one of the eTwinning project which is called Granma’s Stories in 2080. In my opinion stories and poems good tools for education and learning second language. I think, young students have full of creative idea, dream and emotion therefore, they can create poem or short story if teachers encourage them and give some example to the student. Also, Learner can be enhanced to writing and listening and pronounce skills by story or poem. In addition, learner can fine some similarities between their culture’s anonymous work and different culture anonymous work. For example, Student can learn that (Nasrettin Hoca)Nasreddin Hodja is a cultural figure in Turkey and he is a well known folk philosopher and humorist. He lived probably 13-14 century and left behind the infinite tales of the Nasreddin Hoca. On the contrary There was a persian character and called Mullah Nasreddin, he was a satirical humorist figure around 13th century in Iranian. We can see similarity between their humorous stories. The similarity can make closeness effect on student and they may share what they know about the humorous character, it can be helpful their learning process.
