Where are you from?: Provided by John's ESL Community OBJECTIVE: The object of this activity is to have the students use the question word where. As you will see in the chart, each student must find someone who is from another country and then ask that person where they last went for vacation. This forces the student to ask first Where are you from? And then Where did you go for vacation? PROCEDURE: If you are teaching in an ESL setting you can modify this to your own student population by using the countries that your students are actually from. However, if you are teaching in an EFL setting then you will have to tell the students where they are from and where they went on vacation. If you scroll down past the chart you will find examples that I used in my EFL classroom in Korea. Each student was given a piece of paper that told them what country they were from and where they went on vacation. They then went to the other students in class and took turns asking Where are you from? And Where did you go for vacation? They then recorded the answers in the appropriate blanks. When everyone was finished I asked each student to report his or her findings for one or two of the other students in class. Of course you are free print and modify this activity to fit the needs of your students. Find someone from China. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from Germany. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from France. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from England. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from Egypt. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from Canada. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from Italy. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Find someone from Spain. Where did they go for vacation? _______________________________ Use the following for an EFL enviornment. Cut on the dotted line and give each student a slip of paper telling that student where he is from and where he went on vacation. I'm from China. I went to Spain for vacation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm from Germany.
