Expected time taken
20 - 40 minutes
Task Outline
1. Students complete a loop game as a class
group which will incorporate language and
cultural elements.
2. Use a KWL chart to find out what the students
already know and what they would like to
know about the target country/ies.
Teachers can also
ask students in
small groups to
create their own
loop game for their
peers.
3. Each student completes a poster entitled
‘Languages around Me’. They draw a circle with
ME in the middle, they write what languages
they speak/hear at home, then draw another
circle to include the languages they
hear/speak in their neighbourhood, and so on
with their school, town etc. Students share
their poster with their peers (SPHE style
poster).
