Fellow and Specialist
Matthew Jellick - Ambo, Ethiopia/St. Augustine University, Tanzania
Utilizing the platform of Skype, students at Ambo University in Ethiopia and students at St. Augustine University in Tanzania (EL Fellow Mickie Donan) were able to videoconference with each other, using image as well as sound to share ideas, ask questions, and learn about the educational, societal, and political situations in each respective country. The students came away from this particular lesson with an expanded worldview, not only in terms of English language acquisition, but perhaps more importantly, with learned cultural knowledge about a country which shares many of the same struggles as Ethiopia.
