Projektaktiviteter

Collect and compare English samples from social platforms

Students gather posts, comments, and captions in English, then code them for slang, abbreviations, informal grammar, vocabulary range, and accuracy. Both classes add their samples to a shared dataset and compare them with formal textbook English.

Varighed: 120 minutter

Analyse the evidence and run a structured debate with partners

Joint teams review the shared dataset across countries to see how context affects accuracy and range. They then hold a structured debate on whether social media helps or hinders English learning, using evidence to back each side.

Varighed: 120 minutter

Format: Debat

Produce and share a final report on social media and English

Each team creates a short report or podcast with its conclusions, justified by the collected evidence. Both classes present their findings in a joint video session and reflect on what they learned about each other's language use.
