Wednesday,
we took our class to Bombay Blue restaurant for an Intensive English
Lunch. The owner and staff all speak
English so it was great practice. Santa
san (my husband, Ted) joined us. They
all did excellent with speaking only English!

Adventurous English Students
One of
my English classes is planning a (pretend) trip to Australia. I wish we could really go! They would be a
fun group to travel with. They’ve
decided to go for a week in February, when it’s still winter here. They have been researching where in Australia to
visit because it is a big country and we can’t do it all in a week. They've chosen to go to Sydney for four days and Tasmania for three. Next, we will choose hotels and make reservations by phone, then make decisions on what we need
to pack. We are looking into the currency and the exchange rate and how much
things cost. I’m learning a lot while
they are practicing their English skills.
What a fantastic way of learning and practising English. I had known about this technique when I was teaching. Using real English in restaurants though, was something we did, too, at the end of the term. This post brought back memories...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to practice a language! Looks like you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteA topic about us! I'm happy to read this article:) I like your teaching. I am happy to hear you also are enjoying this class! I looked up some hotels. I found some cheap and good hotels with kitchen. Yeeeees, I wish we could really go. I hope you have a great trip to Kyoto and Okinawa! Bon voyage! Manami
