TRAVELLING TO ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES PROJECT
Hi 2nd of ESO students!
Have you ever thought about taking a trip to an English speaking country? Well, here is your chance!
For this project, let's imagine for a moment in groups of two people that we want to travel down to those countries where the English language is spoken.
Did
you know that English is spoken all over the world, and not just in the United
Kingdom or the United States? English is also an official language in other
countries like India, Ireland, South Africa, Philippines, Canada, Gibraltar,
Malta, Jamaica, Singapore, Bermuda and The Bahamas.
- AMERICA: The USA, Canada, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Bermuda etc.
- EUROPE:
Ireland, Gibraltar, Malta, UK
- AFRICA:
South Africa, Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, Zambia, Botsuana, Zimbabue, Malawi,
Ghana, Rwana, Sudan.
- ASIA: India, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan
So,
choose an English speaking country from the list provided and work together to find out specific
information in order to advertise it to your classmates (with the exception of Ireland, the USA and the UK). Make a
Powerpoint or Prezi presentation to convince your fellow pupils that your
destination is the most interesting to visit!
First of all, paint the English speaking countries in the world map I provided you last Friday.
