This is the third school year that my students go to Málaga Airport to carry out a survey about travelling.
The main aim of this assignment is to collect information so as to find out why people travel. Well, I'm not telling you the truth... the real aim is to get them to speak English. By asking different people questions concerning their trips, they have a great chance to use English outside the class; face to face interviews make them practice what they have been learning. They love this activity and that´s another reason to do it every year.
The full activity is here .
This time they have gone a bit further, most of them recorded videos of the interviews. Students never stop surprising me.

Ana,
Estupenda actividad. Lo del vídeo todavía mejor. El otro día hablando con una amiga que está en un Centro de Asesoramiento de profesores (no sé cómo los llamáis allí) le decía que dar clase de lenguas en la actualidad es alucinante. Grabas vídeos y textos, juegas con la imagen, tienen dimensión pública los trabajos, tienes a tu alcance todo tipo de textos y la prensa mundial, realizas conexiones impensables y sin casi esfuerzo… es realizable cualquier proyecto que antes sólo te atrevías a imaginar… y, aunque la evaluación, a veces, se hace difícil, no hay más que ver a los alumnos para entender que esta es la mina que hay que seguir explotando.
Me encanta tu blog.
Gracias Patxo,
La verdad es que tienes toda la razón,se pueden llevar a cabo proyectos que como dices,apenas hace unos años eran impensables...sin embargo, echo de menos cambios de actitudes y medios para conseguir objetivos reales.
Bueno, poco a poco.
Me encanta el entusiasmo que siempre trasmites a través de lo que escribes.
Nos mantenemos en contacto.
