Making E-cards: good for beginner students

This is an idea I found while looking at SparkEnthusiasm.com, a site Kaki listed on her blog. The makers of the site listed making e-cards as a way to practice Spanish, and I thought it would be useful for English as well. I think it could be great for true beginner students. You could help students figure out what goes into most greeting cards in the U.S., and then have them send each other cards. A site with free e-cards is 123 Greetings.

  1. I think the e-cards could be an entertaining way to learn some common American phrases that relate to certain events or holidays. The cultural aspect of this would be beneficial for students. This site would probably be fun for all ages and would give students an opportunity to work with technology in a different way.

  2. Writing cards is not an easy thing. I think it is a very useful activity for ESL students. I never learned how to write cards formally.
