" Minji teacher is one of the most inspiring, dedicated, and creative teachers we were privileged to meet through storypal! She is spectacular with her professional work as a teacher and great in communication with both other teachers and students. We really appreciate her contribution to the community and we learn A LOT from her. "
My students all love the penpal project with Storypal! They waited for the class time and got excited for letters they received.
56 middleschool students of mine exchanged letters with middleschool students in U.S. last year. My students learned and practiced English in meaningful context. In addition to language learning, they learned different culture.
I love the idea of exchanging letters with friends in differnt culture and using target language in real context. And Storypal realized this idea in my class. The CEO, Heehwa Choi and her staffs were very kind and they were very helpful with technical issue and even langauge teaching.
I highly recommend Storypal to your students!
스토리팔을 사용한 수업을 작년에 중학교 1학년 대상으로(2반, 총 56명) 자유학기제 프로그램으로 진행했습니다. 저희 학생들은 미국의 중학생들과 2주에 한번정도 편지를 주고 받았는데 언어뿐만 아니라 문화까지 배울수 있어서 참 유익한 시간 이었습니다.
Storypal CEO 인 최희화씨와 그녀의 직원들이 발생하는 이슈에 즉각 도움을 주었고 문제없이 수업할수 있었습니다. 자유학기제 프로그램으로 강력히 추천합니다.
To be honest, I must be thankful to that guy from the storypal team who first introduced the idea first to me.
Before that time, mainly since the date I started teaching in the public sector, I had been looking for a teacher who is willing to have his or her students exchange letters with mine. Trust me I could not find any; I had posted tens of application in different teachers' facebook pages and groups, but none of them had been serious enough to start the penpal exchange.
But when I started using Storypal five or six months ago, I no longer waste time joining groups or looking for teachers to do so. I have met teachers from different parts of the world; All I have to do is to choose the teacher whose students' age is the same or almost the same as my students' and then match my students to his or hers.
I addition to the to the change Storypal brings to my classroom, it helps them establish new relationships, get them open to new cultures and know more about how to communicate in English.
To put it in a nutshell, Storypal is a good learning tool that I highly recommend for my fellow teachers to make use of in order to meet the curriculum standards.
Thanks Storypal
