With this project, Language Exchange on Borders, the focus is on a language exchange between Irish students and native speakers, using debating and spoken language skills.
The exchange was between 6th year students in an Irish school and students of a similar age in a French school.
The project had several aims:
- to develop students’ oral skills and confidence in speaking
- to expand students’ cultural and geopolitical awareness
- to encourage students to give their opinion on topics relevant for the Irish Leaving Certificate/the French
baccalaureate
