ideas for teachers and
activities for students...

ESL Students.
presented by Hubert Sauvageau

My research was done to introduce
English (to L2 speakers) in a funny
way. Valentine day is a great topic
because students will learn about
valentine day, do great activities
and also improve their English (and
computer skills at the same time
with different games and
interesting web sites)…
3
How do I intend to use these new
sites???
• First, I will ask during different period of
class students to check these sites (4) and do
some activities. Example: Write a Valentine
Card to a friend or a family member.. I can
ask to read about Valentine day and then I do
a small quiz. Furthermore, the other sites
have been chosen to bring English in a new
way of learning… They are fun. They will
bring young students to learn English while
playing (ex: recipe) a game (at the same
time)…
