Watch this movie for the nominees anouncement:

These are the questions proposed: 

1) Have you seen all the films? Which ones have you seen? Which one should win? Why?

2)Which actor/actress should get the statuette for leading and supporting roles?Why?

 

Similar to last year,  I propose a different participation - through the audio activity VOXOPOP. This is a valuable voice tool that can help you boost your speaking skills and also integrates the participants. See below how it works:

1) This is an example of a VOXOPOP group I had participated in with international teachers.

2)  Go to Voxopop of 2013 on the Oscar to see how the students participated. In order to participate in this talkgroup: The talkgroup Oscar Nominees 2014, you'll have to  Sign up to VOXOPOP to create a login and password.

3) Oscar Nominees 2014 voicethread.  You just click on the RECORD A MESSAGE button and post your opinion after mine. Give it a try, ok?  

Hope you enjoy this new activity! Count on your participation!
