Obviously, it's so that people can communicate with one another. You've found a way to learn a language that has a very substantive connection to reality. If we were smart we'd develop a system that instead of learning foreign languages in school, in isolation, we'd set up learning communities in which students from foreign nations that speak different languages would have to speak, or write, each others' languages to communicate with them.

I've found a number of websites recently which are designed to allow collaboration to take place. I'm delighted now that I've finally been able to register for Writely and have a look at it. It seems excellent. There seems some concern however, that it is another site which has been taken over by Google, but from my perspective as a teacher, I'm just glad that means it should definitely work when I use it in class.
