Abstract

This paper demonstrates how, via email exchange, a learner's German improved over a period of almost six months. The circumstances leading to the experience reported in this paper were purely accidental. The activity described below worked well with a learner of German at intermediate level; however, it could be carried out with any language at any level. Because email is essentially text-based, albeit conversational, the paper focuses on written German.
