for some reason i thought about this the other night when i couldnt sleep (weird i know!)
anyway, do you think all schools in the uk should have an exchange programme with a school in another country (eg. france, germany or spain)? where pupils could be partnered with a pupil from the foreign school and could write to them and then have exchange visits.
if this happened, do you think it would improve childrens speaking of a foreign language as they would be able to use it more frequently, or do you think it would make it worse (especially as in france children seem to be able to speak english very well and so maybe english pupils would see no need to speak french to them when they could speak english instead)?
anyway, i was just wondering what you all thought, whether kids would benefit from an exchange programme or not
