“Uno de los grandes beneficios para mis estudiantes, en particular, fue la posibilidad de tener una experiencia única y por primera vez poder interactuar, conocer, comparar y compartir eventos de su vida que para ellos eran significativos, con estudiantes de su misma edad, que viven en otro país, contexto, con diferentes condiciones económicas y sociales, etc. Este curso les permitió tener un acercamiento a una cultura diferente a la suya, mostrar respeto e interés en conocer otras culturas más allá de lo que los rodea, pudieron compartir sus ideas en diferentes tareas y compartirlas no sólo con sus compañeros de escuela y su familia sino en la plataforma para ser leídas por jóvenes que aparentemente no son tan diferentes de ellos. Este tema es de gran relevancia ya que no solo se utilizó como una herramienta para que algunos de ellos tuvieran su primer acercamiento al idioma inglés, sino que es un tema de gran relevancia social y su aprendizaje e implementación es para toda su vida."
