At midday, at College of Education in Benjamin, Mirta Kupfermink, who is a Visual Arts teacher from Argentina, presented Another Language, Image and Meaning, she displayed a series of pictures and gave us some hints to analyze them critically. In the evening, the Wimba classroom proved to be a successful event, the virtual class was fluent and the communication with Taiwan was very fruitful. The Taiwanese teachers were very much interested in the American educational system and also in Argentina because they learn English as a foreign language like in our country, not as second language like in The States. The curious point was that they do not follow a communicative approach, their teaching practices involve a lot of grammar translation contents.
