(Nov 30, 2011) Anonymous said: this kind of activity is mostly a listening activity in my opinion. the kids will hear words like "cut", "fold", "triangle", etc. maybe not english they will use, but i think the value in this kind of lesson might be that the kids can realize that it is possible to communication with someone speaking a foreign language if you use words and gestures, etc. however, i haven't had much luck in using this kind of activity to get kids to speak. it's also good to keep in mind that being an alt is not only about teaching english, but sharing culture too.
