Educaplay: The Anglosphere
Who is this lesson for?
This micro-lesson is for 4th ESO students. It's based on a matching game where students can link related words. In this particular case, there are two groups of words formed by American and British English vocabulary. The students are invited to group together the British English words with the corresponding equivalents in American English. After they finish the activity, they are encouraged to explore the position of English as a global language through an interactive world map.
