ESL FILM QUIZ – B2/C1: SHIMMER LAKE
This time, let me invite you to enjoy a great thriller with your students and to work on an ESL film quiz written for B2/C1 students. In addition to the obvious benefits (improving listening skills, expanding vocabulary, etc.), this film gives plenty of opportunities to speculate about what might have happened before, since it is told in reverse.
NOT A BIG DEAL: IT’S ONLY A CONVERSATION CLASS
WHY TO STATE THE OBVIOUS? In 2006, I decided to go to a language school and study Italian. I had already had a good intermediate level in Italian at that time, but I understood that I needed some guidance. While I could read, watch TV (ergo listen), study grammar or vocabulary at home, I still needed somebody to do conversation with. So I started to explore what language schools had to offer. In Florence, it was no problem to find Italian courses for foreigners. However, this experience turned out to be shocking.
