Being an Erasmus student?


Hi dear colleagues!
I'm sharing a video giving advice to students who consider spending some time abroad duirng their studies. Here are my ideas on how to exploit this video in class:
Upon reading a text giving information about the Erasmus student exchange programme, students get in pairs and talk about their attitudes towards attending the Erasmus programme and spending some time abroad for this. After that, they brainstorm on the advice that the girl may be giving. They write down the topics to consider and check them while they are watching the video to see if they are right or wrong. 
As a post-watching activity, they again work in pairs to express whether their attitudes towards being an Erasmus student has changed after they hear the advice from the girl in the video. They also state their favorite advice or the most useful advice to consider in the video. Another idea could be to ask them to write a paragraph on the advice in the video.

It would be fantastic if you made a comment on these ways to use this video in class and you're welcome to add any new activities you come up with :) Thanks!
