2 players.
Player 1 selects any significant historical figure they wish.
Player 2 selects any Wikipedia article of their choice as a starting point.
Player 1 then has to make it to their chosen persons biography page within 6 sub-article clicks or less.
If successful player 1 gets another round with a required par of 5 sub-article clicks or swaps positions if unsuccessful.
Probably geared to more advanced students for practical application, or any students when you got so shitfaced the night before you don't mind them pretending to do your activity whilst they Facebook message the word 'nas' over and over again to one another.
The Wikipedia game.

Won't #1 always pick Justin Bieber, and #2's head will explode from being unable to choose a Wikipedia article without further guidance?tuk-tukfish wrote:2 players.

Great, as long as there is no ambiguity about that I stand ready to play this fun game.Playboy wrote:The Pub Landlord.Bosco wrote:Who owns the pub?Playboy wrote:Could the two of them not just go to the pub and have a beer?

I take it you work at a language factory so the odds of an expat here happening to have his/her children under your tutelage would be (luckily for you) extremely low.

I found the girlfriend doing a word search for her homework from Westline (formerly NWI). Turns out she had also spent an hour in class doing the bloody thing. Pissed off about it, I told her I was moving her to ELT. Then I noticed that the worksheet was stamped 'property of ELT'.

I'd argue that your condescending, holier than thou (yet still seeking to work in the Kingdom), comment makes a more fitting example for the "Language factory tefler" you described.gibbon arms wrote:Keeping the pristine tefl jobber image intact I see.tuk-tukfish wrote:when you got so shitfaced the night before you don't mind them pretending to do your activity

I once worked at ISPP and WIS before moving onto the brighter, greener pastures of st.51 bar ownership, fraud allegations and a subsequent racketeering investigation back home (now all resolved). Teaching English in a country which awards coveted positions to unqualified persons such as myself due simply to age and demeanor isn't exactly what I'd call a resume booster.
Now, whilst we're being honest and unassuming; what fantastic milestones have you achieved that make you see fit to denounce my tongue in cheek comment?

Adapt the tasks as you go and create your own: best selling mobile phones / easiest way to travel to UK / most popular breakfasts around the world etc. With a bit of imagination you'll get a project from this and relevant language production- even advanced learners struggle with forming questions.
You should ask the DOS at ELT how that will help with her ability to use the language. And then watch him/her squirm.reflexline wrote:I found the girlfriend doing a word search for her homework from Westline (formerly NWI).
