Hello! My name's Liliana. I'm a teacher of English (Language and Literature) to Italian teenage stu

domenica 22 aprile 2018



About one month ago, one of my English colleagues, the English conversation teacher and I had students from two classes, (one from Liceo Linguistico and one from Liceo Scientifico) do an English activity, whose inspiration was taken from an Italian TV programme, " Per un pugno di libri".
The activity came from the idea of a possible activity that students from two different classes could do together (Parallel Class).

So the students were divided into two groups and were asked to stand into two rows. They created two "queues". Each student had to answer a question or translate a sentence and if he/she failed he/she was out, while if the answer was right (from the grammar point of view and from the point of view of coherence) he/she went back behind the row related to his/her group.

The group having the last student left won the game.
These are the questions we asked for:







  1. How often a month do you eat out?
  2. What’s the past participle of the verb sleep?
  3. How do you call the people who sit and watch a performance at a theatre or a cinema?
  4. Where do young people in this town usually spend their free time?
  5. Translate: Dov’è tuo fratello? E’ andato nel parco a giocare a calcio

  14. Could you speak English when you were three?
  15. What is Promessi Sposi about?
  16. Translate: Stavo guardando la TV quando il telefono squillò
