What happens in such classes?
Some of the links below are to a local computer, to be used during the presentation

• Conversation, which you can record, and play back the recordings in your car on your way to work
• Go on the web, find Internet sites in the target language. Students can do searches, create their own compilations to show others. See Webquests, Filamentality.
• Music makes great class work, and lyrics can be found online Ahwak
• Record off radio and television - talk shows, small parts of movies, advertisements: dissemble a fast-talking 15 second spiel zoor 501
• Digital pictures of shop signs, roadsigns, billboards
• Flyers, official correspondence, utility bills, office memos
• Bring newspapers, magazines (more adverts)

Discussion:

• Do you set similar activities for your students, or do them in your language classes?
• How can such work be integrated with curriculum and assessed?
