SESSION 5: GETTING TO KNOW RICHARD!

Good afternoon!

It was turn to perform a new session, the fifth one, about Richard’s interview. After entering to the class, I could see how they were looking for him as they were revising the questions and taking a microphone. He was punctual and we were ready to start with the following roles: I directed questions’ rounds, Roser offered to register some clips and take some photographs of the experience and our main protagonist, Richard, was the main interviewee of the session.

To sum up, I am satisfied because of different reasons to be pointed out: first of all, they respected him as being older than them; secondly, they could listen to an English native speaker apart from their teachers’ accent or others from audiovisual talks. At the same level, I am so proud because of their final pronunciation because as they said them several times, they knew how they sounded.

Similarly, I stress out that another key ingredient was the microphone. It made them feel as journalists while showing a well-mannered role and a polite attitude all the afternoon long. With no doubt whatsoever, I especially show gratitude for Richard that was disposed to come from the start and also Roser and my group of students for giving me the chance to plan this different and English activity too inside the project Walking through Campins!.
