classroom activity:"ESL Ice Breaker"
The students will write 5 words that describe themselves on a piece of paper. After they have written those 5 words in their native language they will pick another language to write those same 5 words in. Allow the students class time to do this activity and use the computers. This is a great ice-breaker activity and will teach the students a few words in another language. |
