Loom video on how to use LearningApps

Loom is a simple, browser-based tool for recording your screen with or without your camera. It has a 5-minute limit but you can record up to 25 videos, and either keep them on your Zoom account or download them to a device.

Malta - Animated Slideshow

Adobe Spark allows for the creation of videos via slideshows. Most of its options are quite limited, which means that it doesn't take too long to complete. Below is one example.

Start the lesson by playing the video. Instruct students to take notes.

After the video divide students in small groups to discuss their answers.

Wedding Customs

Weddings are a topic that the majority of students can relate to in some way. They are also a good entry point for a discussion on national traditions, customs and differences.

Bulgarian wedding customs are a mix of old and new that might seem strange at first glance but young couples are happy to be able to mix and match as they see fit to their needs and beliefs.

Below is one way you can create a lesson around wedding customs:

• Tell your learners they will watch a video. First, give them the link to this matching LearningApp to practice some wedding-related vocabulary.
• Play the video below, and tell learners to make a list of the traditions that they can see.
• Give learners some time to discuss these traditions and whether they find them interesting, strange, familiar, or anything else.
• Divide learners in groups and tell them to describe to each other how a wedding goes in their country. Then, in the same groups, they can compare wedding customs among their countries and discuss their personal feelings towards those customs.
• At the end of the class, one or two learners can present a typical wedding in their country to the class. Take class feedback on impressions and comments.
