Description
The activity is designed for a class where there are children speaking different mother languages. The class is divided into groups of children speaking the same mother language or speaking the same language. The teacher makes copies of worksheet 9.2.1. The teacher makes copies of the cards and gives each group a card. The cards represent objects with an ‘international name’: e.g. kiwi, taxi, piano, yoghurt, garage, piano (list is given).The teacher asks to write a short description of the card (if children can not write their mother language or other language they prepare an oral description).
Each group reads slowly his description and the class tries to understand the description.
The teacher asks the class why they do understand some words in a language they do not speak.

Approach: 1- Awakening to languages/ 2- Intercomprehension
