Last week, we met a group of Dutch students in our school. They study VET (FP) in a school called De Rooi Pannen in Eindhoven (Holland). They study tourism and they learn how to work as receptionists, tourist guides or travel agents. One of their subjects is Spanish. It's necessary for them to study a foreign language if they are going to work in tourism. As part of their course, they usually visit Spain once a year.
We showed them our school. We did some presentations about our classes and studies. Then, we worked in groups to do a speaking activity in order to get to know each other. Students asked questions such as "Where are you from?" "Where do you live?" "How old are you?" "What is the most popular festival in your country?". After the speaking task, we played together. The group that built the highest tower of spagetthi won.
We had a great time and I think students could use English to communciate in a funny way.
Did you like the activity? What was the most difficult and easy parts for you?
