I wasn't able to implement my plan directly, but I've outlined the steps I intend to take to ensure its success. First, I'll arrange a meeting with Mr. A to discuss the logistics of establishing pen pal connections and seek his guidance on whom to approach for assistance. Additionally, I'll reach out to ESL teachers via email to gather any insights or suggestions they may have to enhance the program's effectiveness.
Next, I'll communicate the pen pal initiative to students through an email, including a Google form for those interested in participating. This form will capture their preferences and interests, facilitating better matching with their pen pals. Once we've gathered a sufficient number of participants, I'll pair them up and share their contact information.
To keep the engagement alive, I'll send out regular emails every two weeks with prompts for communication and interaction. Participants will have the flexibility to submit their responses via email or in person to me or Mr. A.
Finally, to celebrate the end of each semester and foster camaraderie among pen pals, I'll organize a small gathering with snacks, entertainment, and games. This event will provide an opportunity for participants to meet face-to-face and strengthen their bonds beyond the virtual realm. Through these steps, I aim to create a vibrant and engaging pen pal program that enriches the educational experience for all involved.
