In this task, two remote classes, one in Germany, one in France, communicated firstly via Skype, then exchanged video-selfies in order to get to know each other a little bit better. In the pre-task phase, the learners first engaged in a Skype video-conference and introduced themselves to the learners in the other remote classroom. Afterwards they took a picture of the whole class holding up numbers and uploaded it to the Google Drive. Additionally, each learner created a video-selfie using the Camera app on the iPad in which they shared the most important information about themselves, such as their name, age, home town, their hobby, etc. These videos were also uploaded to the Google Drive and made available for the French class to access and download. In the while-task phase of the project, the learners were put in groups of two and assigned 2 numbers, which corresponded to two children in the French class. The task was to find the video-selfies of their French ‘partners’, watch them and then fill out a worksheet. In the post-task phase, the learners introduced their French ‘partners’ to the other children in class, as is shown in the task video.

Weil beide eben eine Sprache sprechen, die die jeweils anderen nicht können. Das fand ich jetzt so interessant daran den Austausch zu machen mit einer französischen Klasse, die auch Englisch lernt. Das ist dann eigentlich die Übertragung der eigenen Ideen oder das was man sagen möchte, Informationen, dann über diese Fremdsprache nur geht…
