Cheswing is good for knowing the world
I like Cheswing very much because of its simple structure. We just choose our interesting topic and listen to other people's thought and speak our opinions. I want to use it by integrating it into reading class. The textbook of Japan includes several topics, such as global warming, world heritage and so on. After finishing the topic, I want to have students post their opinions relating to it on this website. It is really fun for students. They have to use vocaburalies they learned in the textbook and they can get responses from the world. The textbook doesn't seem to be enacted in a real world. However, by combining this task, the textbook can also be authentic. Moreover, students can hear several accents of English. They will know English is not spoken only in America. I think it makes students motivate to speak English. They will not care about their own accents too much.

Keiko,
You haven't exactly understood this part of mod 8. Your task is to tell how you would integrate a tool like Chinswing into one of the global cooperation projects that you explored in this first part of this mod. Please think about that and post your idea here on your blog.
