Valentine's Day (14th February)




What is LOVE? can you define it or even explain it?
The Guardian gives you some tips ;) http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/feb/12/what-is-love-valentines-day-experts


If you want to deal with Valentine's Day in class to let your students know about its history, visit http://www.esolcourses.com/content/topics/valentinesday/listening/history-of-valentines-day.html to do a video listening activity. It's great!

You can also use a Scavenger Hunt with your students, a task that motivates them a lot! The best one is this by Svetlana Kandybovich: https://eltcation.wordpress.com/author/svetlanakandy/

The British Council has a lesson plan dedicated to this day for intermediate-advanced students. It's based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/shakespeare-love-romeo-juliet

Without a doubt, when I deal with Romeo and Juliet with my students, I also use the couple of one of the greatest works of Spanish literature which takes place in my city, Salamanca (Spain). They are Calisto and Melibea, from the Tragicomedy of Calisto and Melibea. You can learn more in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Celestina



The following are resources for younger students:
