PUBLIC
This blog is addressed to a
group of adults and young
adults who study English in
a private language institute
because of personal
interests; for this reason
they are highly motivated
and dedicated to their
language learning process.
Most learners are
interested in learning about
the animals that live in
Colombia and want to be
able to talk about them in
the target language.
ENVIRONMENT AND METHODOLOGY
The students are mostly intermediate language users who have
been placed in the A2 and B1 levels according to the ECF.
Most of them are familiar with the use of information technologies
and are interested in implementing newer methodological
approaches that allow them to have more interaction with the
information and to improve their language skills.
The blog is designed to complement their study material by
providing more opportunities for learners to use their skills.
Describing is an important aspect of language use and their guide
book provides a lot of work on describing people, so the idea of the
blog is to extend their descriptive skills to animals alike.
TOPICS
TOPICS
Students will be able to describe Colombian wildlife by
properly referring to different animal characteristics which
will allow learners to classify or categorize a variety of
animals living in the area. Through a development of new
lexicon and the reinforcement of descriptive structures,
students will be able to talk freely and comfortably about a
variety of wild and domestic animals.
Even though describing is a lower language skill, a big lack
has been identified when students are asked to talk about
their favorite animals or pets; that is the reason why this
blog has been intended to fill in those gaps.
RESOURCES
The blog will contain:
- A presentation of animal parts with pictures.
- It will also include some examples descriptions of some of the most popular
wildlife in the region (1 texts and 2 audios)
- A video about animal diversity which includes English subtitles
- And some games to consolidate knowledge.
