The video I have chosen is an extract of the international, well-known show Britain’s Got Talent. More precisely, I have chosen the performance of a young comedian who has got cerebral palsy. I think this might be of interest to my students since it is a show they watch in Spanish and that they really like. At the same time, we are using authentic materials from a British Channel. I will divide the process into three tasks:
PRE
In class, we will introduce the topic by brainstorming some vocabulary they already know related to TV and shows (performance, telly, audience, etc)
Then, I will ask them some questions to see what they know about the program and play a short video of the Spanish version.
WHILE (flipped classroom)
They’ll watch the video at home as many times as they need and answer the interactive questions. Besides the questions, they will have to choose 2 jokes to explain to them in class.
POST
The next day in class, they will work in pairs and each pair will have a tablet. They will need to choose a scene and voice-over the passage they want. 10-15 seconds will be enough. There is just one rule: It must be funny.
The learning objectives are:
- Learning vocabulary related to the topic Shows and TV
- Listening to and answering questions from a video
- Voice-over a passage
Thanks to the flipped classroom approach, students can work individually at home and we can spend the class doing group and pair activities that involve speaking and listening with other students.
