Intercultural Communication

I think intercultural communication is a great tool to use in the classroom. It allows students to be exposed to another culture first hand. I think that e-mail exchanges are wonderful to use in the foreign language classroom. They show the students that they are not wasting their time learning another language, that there are people in the world that really use it. Whether using e-mail, AOL, or live chat, I think it is important to give the students very clear instructions and guidelines when they are doing any sort of project using technology. A drawback to using technology is that it is sometimes unreliable, you do not know if it is always going to work properly.
