A number of students are talking about the problems they have with English. Incredibly they do manage to understand each other... :-) A hilarious little sketch with huge potential both for the classroom and for presentations.
Taken from the series ’The Sketch Show UK“
Level: B2 -- C1 Topics: Language / Language Learning / Education / Learning difficulties
EXTENSION
Post-Listening: Watch What about you? What would you say is your greatest problem with the language? Walk around the class and share your problem ( an example) with at least three other people.
Homework: [ Students write their problem ( an example) on a post-it note and they give it to the teacher. The teacher distributes the notes at random to the various students. Each student has to write an e-mail suggesting ways for how their classmate can overcome their problem. Next time the post-it notes along with the e-mails can be put up on the wall and the students can walk around voting for which e-mail they think gives the best advice. ]
[A big ‘Thank You’ to my colleague Joanna Charalampous for suggesting these two activities after using the clip with her class. :-) ]
