Previously I would randomly assign students but this way I have found that the pairs of students build up a better rapport and this has led to students that have left school , returned to visit and tell me that they are still in contact with their Epal from the project years before !
The added bonus is that I get to know the learners better at the beginning of the year too and can adapt some of my material to their specific interests too.
