TELESHOPPING ADVERT CREATION IN THE CLASSROOM

Using teleshopping in an oral English classroom is an engaging way to practice persuasive language, spontaneous speaking, and real-life functional communication.

Teleshopping is buying products from home while watching them on television.

Here is a quick summary:

• What it is: TV shows where presenters show products and viewers buy them by phone or online.

• The Style: Very energetic and fast. The hosts show a common problem and present the item as the best solution. They often say "Buy now before time runs out!" to make you order quickly.

• Target Audience: Mostly older adults, stay-at-home parents, and people watching TV late at night or during the day.

UNMOTIVATED STUDENTS: ENGLISH IS EVERYWHERE

SOME STUDENTS THINK ENGLISH IS USELESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE UNMOTIVATED OR AT RISK OF DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL BUT ENGLISH IS ALREADY PART OF THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. THEY USE ENGLISH IN VIDEO GAMES, MUSIC, SOCIAL MEDIA, APPS, FILMS, SPORTS AND ON THE INTERNET.

SHOWING STUDENTS THAT THEY ALREADY USE ENGLISH EVERY DAY CAN MAKE THE SUBJECT MORE MEANINGFUL. IT CAN HELP THEM SEE ENGLISH NOT AS ANOTHER SCHOOL SUBJECT, BUT AS A USEFUL TOOL FOR REAL LIFE.
