Last week our English Language Module (ELM) Higher Group students visited Blackpool and went on a class trip to the zoo. They enjoyed great weather, a trip down the Blackpool strip to the famous Blackpool Tower and had some free time to go shopping.
To ensure their fun day out incorporated a great deal of language learning, students were put into mixed nationality groups so they had to speak English to each other and were given worksheets to complete on their trip round the zoo which was followed by a quiz. Students also had to buy their own lunch and souvenirs, take the bus and ask questions in English.

This was a great opportunity for students learning English to put some of their classroom learning into a real life setting and gave them a great deal of confidence in interacting with different people to meet necessary aims; eating, getting from one place to another etc.
Students reported that they had a really good day out. Blackpool is a traditional British seaside resort which they had the pleasure of visiting and as a bonus, students were treated to a stick of Blackpool rock by their teacher Victoria.
