Virtual Tours to Places in the UK

Image
I have been introducing my ESOL students to important places in the UK via virtual tours. This is a great way to find out about places without having to worry about money, transport, accommodation etc. (particularly during Covid 19). Just by clicking on a virtual tour places can become a lot more real to students and some of the tours do make you feel like you are actually there! These tours are also a great prompt for students to talk about important places and buildings in their own countries and to write about places which mean a lot to them. They might be able to show your virtual tours from their countries as well 😀 Here are my two latest tours for places to visit in South West England and also for places in London.

Plymouth Activities

Today I took my students on a virtual tour of Plymouth using this fantastic map from Plymouth University. https://virtual.plymouth.ac.uk/#s=pano526 Some of my students discovered important places for the first time and new activities to do with their children. Unfortunately not all the places are open during Covid-19 lockdown, but they enjoyed finding out new information about these places and ways to visit in the future.  I've also uploaded some of my best ESOL Plymouth resources which can be used with Pre-Entry, Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3 students. Let me know what you think in the comments section below :)  Plymouth Places and Virtual Tour PowerPoint: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P0jRGuxKbKq8gEkw80_sEUSj7Q3YI_mR/view?usp=sharing Plymouth Tourist Research and Matching Activity: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12xE6z459HR61jWTVTp54BpVxNkZwNcSx/view?usp=sharing Plymouth Pre-Entry Reading Activities: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iIK_0cdE7CPlF3FObWqBzpmonwlglF61/view?u...
