SMILE: An Action-oriented Scenario: Public Art Walk in the Neighbourhood

Abstract

Have you ever wished your students could practice their language skills in real-life and meaningful contexts? Engaging learners with their surroundings can make language learning both fun and memorable. A way to achieve this is by incorporating ac-tion-oriented scenarios (Piccardo & North, 2019)1, such as a Public Art Walk in the Neighbourhood, into your teaching. This scenario will get students to explore local artwork and develop authentic communication skills while viewing their community with fresh insight and greater awareness.
