 Suggest a solution for each.

a)  Your  learners don´t have email accounts. The best solution for this problem is to help them to create an email account.

b)  Your learners don´t know how to send or open email             attachments. The solution for this problem is to teach them how to do it.

c)  Your learners use abbreviations such as CU (“see you”) or the lower case i in all their emails. The solution for this problem is to negotiate  with students the level of formality in email writing , set them some rule and explain that they are going to use Standard written English.

d)  You would like to provide your learners with a weekly emailed summary of classwork covered, but have no time to do so. The solution to this problem is to negotiate with my partner teacher that she email students a summary of classwork one week and then I will do it the following week.

e)  Your learners are reluctant to do the extra work that beloging to a class email discussion list  involves, and do not contribute much. The solution to this problem is to give students an interesting topic so that they don´t get bored.

f)  In a keypal Project, your learners don´t know what to write to their partner in another country .The way to solve this problem is to give them a topic so that they have a guide to start a conversation.

g)    Your learners are upset by emails received from the partner country, as they find them “rude”or “aggresive”. The solution to this problem is to  talk with the other teacher  to see what her students send to my students. I have to be sure that the teacher and I share the same rules, and her students have the same age and level of my students.
