Tower of Babel – WhatsApp group (Task 13)

The aim of this task is to develop learner’s reception and production skills in an authentic situation. Firstly, the learners discuss the features of a typical social media (e.g. WhatsApp) message. Then, working in small groups, they read five different WhatsApp messages (Language B/C), and provide an answer either in Language A and/or B(/C), depending on the instructions given in the message. Finally, they share their answers with the rest of the groups. As a follow-up activity, learners have to write their own message in Language A as part of their homework, and next time, in pairs, they answer their own messages in Language B (/C).
