My COIL experience

by

Gabriela Rascòn Peral

This COIL project started for me a little delayed in the sense that I was able to communicate and introduce myself with my partner several days after I was assigned because I could not find him in the social networks that teacher provided me...

Finally my partner found me on Facebook and sent me a request and a message performing...

But there was presented our second difficulty because of the great difference in time between our countries...

In the course of the collaboration were only few times that we could agree to contact us and is little we get to know...

Then, through our teacher we learned that our colleagues from South Africa were going through a strike and were not attending classes, and that their teacher had health problems ...

Despite all the difficulties that we were presented both to us Mexico and to our colleagues from South Africa, I think it was a good experience, because we live what is really a cultural clash from the beginning and we learned a lot from each other to spite of not being directly between us.
