Speaking practice: My food habits

We are now our Topic Based Learning by offering a speaking practice to improve our students' oral skills. This time we want to encourage our students by asking them to record an audio in Padlet speaking about their food habits.

As all activities we need to prepare our students for the final outcome. 

1 - Introduction to the oral activity:

Remember, we want students to get globalized skills, therefore, it is not only the learning of their English skills but also of their social skills which will helpful for many other context: 

- Presentation of the speaker.
- What is the purpose of the audio.
- Main body of the audio.
- Proper conclusion.

2 - Practice with the ICT to submit the activity:

3 - Speaking practice, record your audio: My food habits

To access the activity you may provide the below QC code or link to the Padlet wall.
