This “game” is based upon my first successful game “Who Is Speaking” which used the speech accent archive.
In it, you listen to the 1st Article of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man spoken in a foreign language. Then you guess and see how you did. It’s quite the challenge! There are different versions based on length.
Give it a try or challenge your students.
Read all the “gems of EFL Classroom 2.0″ series, highlighted all this month.
This game, Guess Who’s Speaking, I designed using the Speech Archives and stock photos.
It could be a good listening activity for students (it provides repetition) and also a way to discuss stereotypes.
Basically, you first guess who might be speaking (these aren’t the real people but it is fun to think about this and gets us thinking about stereotypes too). Then, guess where they are from. Check. 20 questions plus one practice question.
This is based a bit on the Language Accent Game. This game is enjoyable but I find only useful with adv. learners. Thus, my own attempt…. (I’ll be tinkering with the game, changing, over the next few weeks as feedback is given).
