Pumpernickel! Another word guessing games! Have your students learned adverbs of frequency? (usually, always, sometimes) Can they ask questions? Do they know different locations? Do they know lots of different verbs? Then they are ready for this game! I've always called it pumpernickel because I think that's a fun word to say! The rules of the game are easy, you have to answer questions about your verb without actually saying it. So one way we can play it would be: 1. Now student 4 can pick a word and the rest of the students will continue asking questions about pumpernickel. Adaptations: Some teachers have students guess in a particular order. ‘absolutely intercultural!’ Barry Tomalin blog 9: teaching the body language Body language is an important aspect of intercultural communication and using video allows you to observe the body language in action. I classify body language as follows. * Facial expressions. * Gestures: arms folded, arms by the sides, arms waving about etc. * Posture: how people stand, whether they lean forward or sit back, are relaxed or stiff. * Proximity: how close people stand to each other * Dress: How do people dress? * Location: Where does the interaction take place? And here's an activity I use with a new DVD based programme called EUROPE AT WORK (www.EIworkplace.net). Set up the video unit ready for showing on a DVD player. 1 Divide the class into groups. 2 Explain the task. 3 Play the DVD unit WITH THE SOUND MUTE. 4 Elicit from each group what they have observed. 5 If you want, ask them to predict the topic of the conversation and also predict the mood. 6 Play the DVD again, this time with the SOUND UP. 9 At the end, ask the three questions.
