Liu, Ping
Childhood Education, v79 n2 p81-88 Win 2002-2003
Examined an e-mail pen pal project between a second-grade classroom in the United States and one in China. Found that the project engaged students in learning through social interaction that enabled them to learn about a culture other than their own. Also found that the project enhanced students' social, cognitive, and linguistic skills, and required teamwork among teachers, parents, students. (TJQ)
