Hi, I am Lin-lin. I teach English in a public school in Kaohsiung. Mystery Skype provides us choices to talk to English speakers worldwide. It enables students to have distinct direct contacts with peers/teachers of other nations in order to learn authentic English and gain new perspective about the world they live in. It is a whole new way to bring the world to the classroom.
