THE ENGLISH CULTURE

Learning a new language also include learning the basis of the culture that has made it possible. Refering to the English Language, although being a language that is being spoken in a lot of different places, the UK is the one where it was first spoken (England specifically). As a result, we will work out the British culture to understand all the characteristics that are involved in the English language.

To introduce this subject in our classrooms, we can do it in a visual way. How? We can play a video about it and make our students an idea about what describes to the British Culture or show a presentation of slides. For example, this is one content that we have already made with PowerPoint:

The british culture from Cristina Roldán Miguélez

Then we can talk with our students and do some speaking asking things like:
- Do you remember which colours have the British flag?
- Which ones where the most typical dishes of the UK?

Later, and to reinforce the learning of all this concepts, we can make our students do an activity about it in an interactive way. For example, using Hot Potatoes. If you click to the image below, you will show an example that we have already done.

Another activity that you can do for review the reading skill and the writing is one using the Puzzle Maker. For example, this one that we have already made with Puzzle Maker: 

Finally, we can do an enjoyable activity proposing to imitate the English Accent. For this, you can tell your students to search some words and listen to them. The best option is using this direct link to the Google translator: https://translate.google.com/?hl=ca#en/ca/trifle
You should make sure that the language of the first square is the English one. Now, the students will write different English word, click enter and then, listen to its pronunciation and imitate it.

That is all today. Thanks for following and see you the next day.
