Introduction to Global Communication

Hello dear reader. My name is Philippe; I am a French student living in Tours. I study English at the University of Tours; I am in my third year of Bachelor degree in the "Civilization and Communication" section. During this semester, our teacher Mrs. Frund, gave us the opportunity to talk with other students throughout the world. We used two different methods to interact with them: by video chat and also by instant messenger. Our courses were divided in 2 sessions per week: On Mondays we were in the chat room and on Wednesdays, we were in the video room.

The two schools that were selected for this course were East Carolina University based in Greensboro, North Carolina and Saint Xavier Institute of Education based in Mumbai, India.

It was amazing to talk with students from each side of the world. Given the shyness of speaking, I saw it like a great opportunity for discovering other cultures and other point of views of different subjects.

In the following posts, I will give you what I learned during the different topics we went through during the course.
