Before their arrival, students use communication tools such as Skype and email to introduce themselves. The host students create a simple survey that the exchange students complete to determine which local attractions or locations they might be familiar with. Based on the results of the survey, the host students then prepare an itinerary for the exchange students that includes a variety of cultural and historical activities which allow the exchange students to gain unique insights into American culture. (Interpretive, Interpersonal, Presentational) EXAMPLE: Students organize a school-wide service project partnering with an international aid organization to assist a school in another country. Students use the Internet to locate a school in the country then communicate directly with the students at that school about their specific needs. Students then design and carry out a project to acquire the items the students need and send them to the school. Students engage in follow-up conversations with the students in the school to determine what impact the supplies had on the students there. (Interpersonal) novice Intermediate www.actfl.org
