How did you get to New York?

Our Korean International  students had a project this month where they had to interview a non-native New Yorker and write about his/her journey to NYC. They had questions prepared beforehand and this was an opportunity for them to practice their speaking and listening fluency. Many of them chose to interview their teachers and although they were nervous at first, they expressed how much fun they had with the project. One student came back saying that she ended up not only interviewing the teacher but being asked back the same questions about her journey to NYC from Korea. She said it was an exciting experience sharing her life story in English. I am planning on more projects to give them an opportunity to practice speaking with their English-speaking peers.
