Lesson Idea: Create Your Own Indonesian Food Vlog!

A discussion in Curriculum & Lesson Planning on the SpeakWise Indonesia teacher forum.

Set the stage by discussing popular Indonesian dishes that students love, such as Nasi Goreng or Sate. Then, have them work in pairs to plan a short video blog where they explain how to make one of these dishes in English. Encourage creativity by allowing students to act out the cooking process, using props and ingredients as visuals. Once they present their vlogs to the class, wrap up with a fun reflection on what they learned and how English helped them express their culinary skills. This engaging activity hones students' speaking and presentation skills while connecting to their everyday lives. For differentiation, support beginners by providing sentence starters to help them structure their presentations confidently.
