PROJECT

A PASSENGER SURVEY AT BARAJAS AIRPORT

 

Assignment: This project should be carried out at Barajas airport. You (each student) must interview one person and ask for permission to video-record the interview. If not, at least ask permission to record the sound. I recommend you to do it in pairs but each student has to carry out an interview. Some interviews will be published on the blog http://www.agr8tourblog4u.blogspot.com/ for educational purposes.

Aim: To use English as a tool for communication and to get to know the people who visit our country (nationalities, reasons for travelling, accommodation, expectations…)

Assessment criteria: It will be graded from 1 to 10 and will be part of the mark of the oral skills.

Deadline: By Friday 15^th November. You will have to send me the files (with an extension I can see and listen to) and the transcription of the dialogues. We'll probably do it through the Moodle platform. The files have to be named as follows: yourname_surname_age_13_14. This assignment won't be corrected if it doesn't follow these rules.
