English in Action

English in Action Projects also takes students outside the classroom. Students are encouraged to present their findings from each project to the class in the form of a lively presentation, debate, etc., and are encouraged to make use of the whiteboards and computers to illustrate their findings. The class is given an opportunity to ask questions about the presentation, and a vote is taken at the end of the lesson to decide which projects were the most engaging, informative, and educational. Below are some descriptive examples of the engaging English in Action Projects the students will participate in:

• Tourist Office Visit
• Garden of Remembrance Excursion
• Artistic Exhibitions
• Street Surveys
• Interviews
• Historical Market Visit
