Spot the difference


If you've ever done a spot the difference exercise then you should be familiar with the basic idea. You can also use for teaching EFL. Divide the class into two groups Give one group a copy of the top picture (which they cannot show their partner) and the other group the bottom picture. The idea is that in pairs the students find out the differences just by describing their own photos). It is also a good way of preparing students for the FCE interview (part 2) which students, amongst other things) have to compare and contrast two photos.

I used that very one last week! Other favourites are the station scene and the office scene from "Discussions That Work".

To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten where I'd found this exercise.

Good book, though.
