“Tweet and Meet”: A virtual exchange project between an Austrian and a Portuguese preschool, connected through the theme of birds –Dr. Kirsten Birsak de Jersey

Inhalte:

The webinar will give insight into a preschool virtual exchange project that took place between an immersion bilingual preschool in Austria and a preschool in Portugal, which includes English in their curriculum. The webinar explores how asynchronous and synchronous activities can be organised to engage children. It will look more closely at how preschool children experience virtual exchange, including their thoughts and feelings about the exchange, their partner class, and how English is part of the project.

Dr. Kirsten Birsak de Jersey has been working in an immersion English preschool and with preschool and primary school children in other contexts for over 20 years. She is also a lecturer at the University of Education, Freiburg. Her research focus is on teacher education for teaching English to young learners. She is currently involved in the Erasmus+ project “INVITED” that connects children across contexts through virtual exchanges, supporting interaction, shared learning, and intercultural learning.
