Celebrate International Education Week with a Global Community

As the leader in global language-learning software, Rosetta Stone® has partnered with ePals to celebrate International Education Week, which recognizes the vital importance international education plays in building the skills necessary to excel in the 21st century. One way your classroom can celebrate International Education Week is to bring a new global experience to your students through ePals.

ePals Global Community™ is the largest online community of K-12 learners and lets more than half a million educators and millions of students across 200 countries and territories safely connect and collaborate through email, blogs, forums and much more.

By using the Classroom Match tool, teachers can search for classrooms around the world by language, topic, age range and geography. At this time, there are nearly 50,000 classrooms in the ePals Global Community that are interested in collaborating through language learning!

Students can practice the foreign language skills learned through classroom instruction and Rosetta Stone with native speakers of the same age and get authentic feedback from their new ePals. If students get stuck on certain words or phrases, the ePals instant language translation tool (embedded into the ePals forums and email accounts) can help clarify in nine different languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese and Spanish.

It’s easy to join the ePals Global Community. Simply go to epals.com to create your classroom profile and begin connecting today! Your students will love sharing and learning different languages with peers around the world.
