Cor, it was a bit chilly yesterday, wasn’t it?. To warm you up a bit here’s the quiz version of the Dream Holiday song. This song sounds quite slow when you listen to it, but it’s actually one of the faster quizzes. As with the other podcast songs it’s designed to be a conversation starter where you get your adult students to discus their own dream holiday.

I’ve been trying these quizzes out a lot over the last few weeks. The thing that surprises me is just how good Japanese adults are at them. We often hear of how listening should be the main thing to focus on, but for many “false beginner” students their listening is just fine. It’s their motivation and speaking that we need to work on! And of course a major part of this is letting them know just how good their listening is. Hence these games, they are a great confidence booster: “Wow, I could get all that!”

Hello, I'm Richard Graham. When I was a kid I found school to be sooooo boring... So I transformed my way of teaching. I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and taught it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical. Now I help teachers just like you teach amazing lessons and double your incomes!
