Just a quick idea thanks to Sarah
I just read Sarah’s blog on New Media in FLE. She talked about her idea to include fake comments by “Guido Westerwave” into her English classroom. To read the complete post, click http://saraheisenberg85.wordpress.com/
Her post reminded me of one of the top news of this week, which is the speech of Baden-Württembergs president Oettinger. He was giving a speech in English in Berlin last December. Nothing was wrong with the speech itself, but his pronounciation was totally horrible. If you just need a funny thing to include into your lesson, you should show this video to your pupils! With this you could point out typical problems Germans have when speaking English, as there are certain sounds that do not exist in the German language. But you could also make your pupils aware of the fact that speaking English nowadays is a basic qualification.
If you have more detailled or better ideas, please let me know! Maybe the video will give you a further incentive!
