1. Create a Facebookpage that your class can
'like'. Start posting updates to your timeline, but not in English. Ask your
pupils to translate the text using Facebook's in-line Bing translation tool and
ask them to gauge its accuracy.
2. Create a Twitteraccount. Start tweeting in a
foreign language, keeping in mind that you have a 140 character limit, and see
if your pupils can strike up a conversation with you. Impose a non-English only
reply and retweet rule.
3. Create a YouTubeaccount. Ask each of your
pupils to record a video blog, or 'vlog', of their hobbies, thoughts or
opinions on topical news stories, but speaking only in a foreign language.
Those who want to have their video uploaded should send it to you first.
4. Create a Pinterestaccount. Take some pictures
of prompt cards, post-it notes or even objects with their description in
another language and 'pin' them on your boards. You could even look for photos
of the country, or infographics about languages in general, to help your pupils
understand more about why they should learn it.
5. Create a blogor Tumblr. Dedicate it entirely
to publishing content in the language you teach. Show your pupils why you love
the language and inspire them to do the same. Ask them to write something,
however small, and post it for the whole world to admire.
