More than an eye-opening experience
Global connections motivate students to learn and practice important skills.
“When I started to write to my PenPals, I was filled with excitement. It made me work harder and I obtained better results with each assignment. The cultural differences and space barriers became meaningless, and I was able to learn so much more than grammar and writing.”

“My favorite thing about learning with PenPals was being able to talk to people from different countries. I learned you have to listen to other people's points of view. Without that, you would never learn to understand.”
