Resources
The aim of the task is for (ESL) students to practise "presenting themselves" based on an American Idol Audition (YouTube) video. The free worksheet is for students at an A2/B1 level. We did this task in our first session with students we had never seen, before and it was a success. For the task your students will need their mobile phones, an Internet connection, headphones (if possible) and of course their classmates. For further information click the links below.

TEAM
Ralf teaches PE and English at a technical college in Upper Austria while Matthias is an English and History teacher at a commercial college in Lower Austria.
Together we are working on schoolbooks and give seminars and webinars on using new media in the classroom. We are both especially interested in getting students talking in creative situations using authentic language as we believe that it fosters motivation for language learning.
We decided to start Off The Coursebook to share our tasks with fellow teachers.
