Question: your students are learning about restaurants (food, taste, ordering, ect.) during this 3 week unit. Your PDL guidelines included that your students should create a fictitious restaurant in their target L2’s country. In what ways could you encourage your students to use social medias for their presentation and/or information gathering? Given what we have learned about social medias in class, what sites and/or medias would you recommend, and why?
Answer:
I'll show students a video at first. The video should include a restaurant scene, and characters will have conversation. For example, a customer will order, and ask a waiter which is the chef's recommendation. The waiter ask the order, and tell the check. I think that it is good way to image the situation, and know what the each character say. After that, I'm going to let students use the Internet to get more information about L2's country restaurants. They may refer to the specific restaurant such as Zippy's, and look for the menu and business hours. Students can get information not only for their fictitious restaurant but also for their skills such as reading, comprehension, and also computer literacy. If we have more time, I would have students take a movie, and show them what they have just played. They will listen to their own conversation or each pronunciation by watching the video. Thus, they can reconsider their phrase or pronunciation which are used in the play.
When I took Spanish class, I played a role as I suggested. However, I didn't use media much in Spanish class, so I wanted to take more media. Since we have to do all thing during 3 weeks, it might be difficult, but we are worth our time in the class.
