One of the things that I particularly like is the multi media slide shows, and I think these are great to use with students as the images are strong and can arouse their curiosity, and the amount of authentic text isn't too much so students with a reasonable intermediate level of English they will be prepared to struggle through it. They are also nicely categorised around themes, which makes it easier to use a group of them to design materials around.
Suggestion for a travel lesson
This is a very simple idea that I came up with for exploiting the travel slide shows.
- Just give your students the links to 3 or 4 of the different travel destinations.
- Ask them to watch and read the slide shows and decide which of the places they would most like to visit for a holiday.
- Make sure they justify their decision, the ask them to discuss or write about what they would do or see there and who and what they would take with them.
- If your students choose different destinations you could pair them and ask them to persuade their partner to change destinations and come to the place they want to go.
Well I hope you and your students enjoy some of these marvelous images. You can find more activities based around images on my Daily Activities blog
