20 Novembro 2017, 12:00 • Hilda Alexandra Prazeres Eusebio
Students did three activities in the Speaking Workshop:
- Speak Dating:
- Each person was given a letter ‘A’ or ‘B’;
- All of the ‘A’s remained seated;
- All of the ‘B’s rotated;
- Each conversation lasted five minutes;
- Each of had about 2.5 minutes to provide the listener with the following information:
- their name
- Where they're from;
- What they do for a living or what they're doing at the moment;
- What their goals are for their future in terms of family, career, location.
- What their qualities are and what they feel they have to offer someone;
- What they look for in the perfect partner;
- What they're willing to compromise on;
- Their ‘dealbreakers’ (i.e. what they simply will not accept in someone).
- The Tate Museum comes to FLUL
- The classroom walls were covered in both old and modern art.
- Students walked around the 'gallery' in pairs.
- Each time they approached a painting or photo, they discussed the following with their partner:
- What they thought the painting is about or what they thought is happening in it;
- Anything they may know about the artist;
- What the painting/photo made them feel and why;
- What it reminded them of or made them think of;
- Anything else the painting/photo inspired them to talk about.
- They had 20 minutes to see the whole gallery.
- They do not have to look at all of the images or spend the same amount of time with each image.
- You were free to do exactly as they would in a real gallery.
- Your Oral Presentation
- Students were instructed to tell their partners about their upcoming oral presentations.
- They were told to include information such as:
- The topic;
- Why they chose the topic they did;
- Any information they would like to give on the topic;
- Their goals for their oral presentations (i.e. what they would like people to understand or learn);
- Their hopes and fears abour their presentation.
