One of my long-time goals has been to have my Biblical Language (BL) students communicate in writing and in synchronous speaking with students from another school. Is anyone else interested in doing so? Does anyone have any experience? (I have a little.) As for writing, a group chat could work (the "Group Chat" on this site might work). Zoom or other system would be nice for live interaction. The trick is finding things for them to talk about. Introducing oneself and describing interests is a good place to start. Any takers?

    Mine are in second year, but the interaction would be good. Would it be best to prep them beforehand, and then set up a time for them to discuss? What would be our role? Are you using στοῖχος for line/verse? What times are best? We meet 8 am (EST) MWF, or could we do some sort of scheduling program to figure out a good time?

    Yes, I think prepping them is most likely to allow for a range of engagement that will be meaningful. I have my students beginning an adaptation of τὸ διήγημα τοῦ Ζακχαῖου in Luke 19. Our class meets at 1:30pm EST, so this would probably need to be an out-of-class engagement, but I'm open to your suggestions. Yes, I've introduced στοῖχος. I'll post the material I provide my student on the Zaccheus story to the group since I can't seem to attach it here. How might this be used?

    Here's the link to the PDF of τὸ διήγημα τοῦ Ζακχαῖου: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9Yr62ZGxpzWGJmdUJhUmFaQXM/view?usp=sharing. Errata welcome. BTW, I noticed a few glitches in my pronunciation in the embedded audio.
