Thanks for the praise jaja It is all the wolf`s job! <br />Gla, you´re right when you say the SS may not know anything about Beirut, but the teacher can help them with that. Students can be shown a map, videos or photos related to this in the pre-listening stage.<br />In the end,getting in touch with other cultures is one of the goals of teaching a foreign language, isn´t it? : ) <br />see you,<br />LuciaLucía G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06007848107085461946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697020458225906189.post-63395712487362424082010-11-05T03:33:13.059-07:002010-11-05T03:33:13.059-07:00Yes, I loved the wolf "ready for bedtime"...Yes, I loved the wolf "ready for bedtime" too!<br /><br />Now, talking about the activity itself, I do believe in this case there's an important contextual element which will prove crucial to students's comprehension. Unless they have some idea of what life in Beirut might be like, and differences with western cultures (which the speaker belongs to, right?), I'd expect them to find it really hard to see the point of all this...<br /><br />Just my 2 cents!<br />GladysGladys Bayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10637060860005714720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697020458225906189.post-36859467363952391082010-10-17T09:28:43.072-07:002010-10-17T09:28:43.072-07:00Let me tell you that if the teacher manages to cre...Let me tell you that if the teacher manages to create as much intrigue as you created with the beautifully creative opening of this entry, students will be motivated for sure! Which reminds me of how important visual aids and prompts are, not only for listening but for reading, writing and speaking as well. I was immediately captivated by the title and the wolf in Grandma's clothes, which made me want to read what you'd written in the glog. Excellent way to hook your audience.
