1. CALL Tool Used:Padlet

2. Interactive Activity/Material:

I would create a Padlet board titled "Holiday Vocabulary" where students can collaborate and share words and phrases related to holidays. Each student would have the ability to add sticky notes containing holiday vocabulary words, expressions, or sentences in the target language. They could also include images or videos related to holidays.

3. Language Point:

I would choose to teach vocabulary and expressions related to holidays, such as words for different holidays,holiday activities , and expressions for discussing holiday plans, traditions, and memories.

4. Using the Activity/Material to Teach the Language Point:

Firstly, I would introduce the Padlet board to the students, explaining its purpose and how to use it.

Then, I would provide some initial holiday vocabulary to kickstart the activity.

Next, I would encourage students to add their own holiday vocabulary to the board, either individually or in pairs/groups.

As students add vocabulary, I would monitor the board and provide feedback on any errors or offer corrections as needed.

Throughout the activity, I would facilitate discussions about the vocabulary being added, prompting students to explain the meaning of the words and how they are used in context.

Finally, I would wrap up the activity by reviewing the holiday vocabulary as a class, discussing any new words or expressions that were added and reinforcing their usage through examples and practice exercises.

[Music]
The Harbin Festival is the largest snow
and ice festival which features carvings
towering over 20 ft in height and
full-size buildings made from gigantic
ice blocks. Every year, people build
incredible things out of ice and snow,
decorating them with lights and lasers.

[Music]
Holi is a Spring Festival, also known as
the Festival of Colors. It's an ancient
Hindu religious festival which starts on
the night before Holi. People gather,
sing, and dance. The next morning
starts with a carnival of colors where
everyone plays, chases, and colors each
other with dry powder and colored water. Some carry water guns and
colored water-filled balloons for their water.

[Music]
The Albuquerque Balloon Festival
is the largest gathering of hot air
balloons in the world. Over 750 hot air
balloons take to the skies. Some are
illuminated at night and some uniquely
shaped. Once the balloons are let
off, they paint the sky with their
vibrant colors and hues, making it a
beautiful sight to look.

[Music]
Burning Man is an annual event when
up to 48,000 people gather in Nevada's
Black Rock Desert to create art and
express their individuality. It takes its
name from the ritual burning of a large
wooden effigy which is set alight on
Saturday evening.

[Music]
Ping Shei Lantern Festival was
originally celebrated to ward off the
evil and disease from the town. Sky
lanterns were released originally to let
others know that the town was safe. These
lanterns are decorated with wishes and
released into the sky, magically
decorating the sky into a sanctuary of
lights.

[Music]
Over a million people invade
Pamplona to participate in the San Fermín
Festival. Those brave enough and willing
to potentially get horned in the chest
participate in the running of the bulls.
During the event, every year over 200
people are injured. Most injuries are contusions due to falls and are not that
serious.

[Music]
The carnival tradition dates
back over 900 years. It was the one
time during the year when there were no
bounds, everybody was free to do things
desired all year without any guilt,
thanks to the masks. During the carnival,
Venice comes alive with masked Venetians and

[Music]
tourists. Oktoberfest is the largest
annual Beer Festival held in Munich. It's
a 16-day festival with more than 6
million participants from around the
world. Imagine being surrounded by these
traditional huge glasses of beer and
served by the beautiful and
sensational

[Music]
waitresses. Commemorating the
uprising that marked the beginning of
the French Revolution, Bastille Day is the
biggest national holiday in France. While
there isn't a city, town, or village
throughout the country that doesn't do
something to honor French Independence,
the best place to celebrate is in

[Music]
Paris. In many ways, Mardi Gras's
reputation precedes itself. If you want a party like
there's no tomorrow, New Orleans is where
you belong. Mardi Gras is a crazy
celebration before Lent, also known as
the last day before giving up sinful

[Music]
pleasures.

The CALL tool I’m using is Flipgrid. I would make a PowerPoint to introduce some foreign festivals. Including the date, a brief origin story, and how they celebrate the festival. After that, I will ask students to record a 2-minute video with Flipgrid. The video should include the student's name, the chosen festival, reasons why they chose this festival, and how the festival is celebrated.

The CALL tool that I’m using is YouGlish, I would make a PowerPoint to introduce a holiday in Spain called Semana Santa which means the Holy Week in English. I wish I could not only introduce this holiday to my students but also let my students take something from my class. Therefore,In my PowerPoint, there will be some words that are a little bit hard to understand and pronounce. I would ask them to search on the YouGlish and find the correct way to pronounce it and use the vocabulary to make a sentence.

1. Which CALL tool did you use?

TTSMaker/Natural Readers

2. What interactive activity or material did you create?

I created an activity where students can talk and listen about how people celebrate holidays in different parts of the world.

3. What language point did you choose to teach?

The present simple tense that is used to describe habitual actions and traditions. I also focus on vocabulary related to holidays and celebrations.

4. How would you use the activity or material to teach the language point?

I would use the audio clips generated by TTSMaker/Natural Readers to provide authentic listening practice. First, students would listen to descriptions of various holiday traditions. They would then complete a matching exercise to reinforce comprehension. After that, we would discuss as a class the different traditions, using the present simple tense to describe them (e.g., "On Christmas, people often decorate trees").
