This collection of ppt screens were used at a first face to face tutorial early in the presentation. Most of the activities were designed by the course team. I added the map of Spain with all its provinces because it is more visual and opens up the conversation. The song (Badalona) was used to practise linking words together, to appreciate the rhythm of the language and to impart information on the culture of the area.

This task aims at introducing leisure activities and/or hobbies as well as revise the Present tense. I have used this task also to introduce and/or revise verbs in false beginners groups. Suitable for L194 and L140 f2f and Elluminate tutorials.
This lesson includes a PPP to work on free time activities, present tense and frequency adverbs. The second activity is a survey to reinforce these contents. Students fill in with their own answers and then move around the class interviewing peers. Students should interview same person until they hear the bell go. The idea is for them to interview as many students as possible and find one person with the most similar activities. This task was designed to be used for f2f tutorials but can be also adapted for Elluminate tutorials.
