   Throughout the whole exercise students have to think about their attitude towards other people. Which side are you: full of prejudices or are you able to show emphathy towards others.

   I really enjoyed this exercise and tomorrow I will definitely use this during my lesson.

   Except for the language acquisition it also teaches me how I can/must make a difference in my own life and my students’.

   Thank you so much for this lesson.

   I hope you will be one of the speakers at the IATEFL conference in Glasgow. You always inspire me.

      Hi Eugenie,

      Thanks very much for commenting. I’m very happy that you like the lesson. Yes, one of the aims of the lesson is to get students to reflect on empathy and the empathetic response of Julio to the teenager.

      Yes, I will be speaking at IATEFL in Glasgow: On Monday 3rd April I’ll be speaking at the Literature SIG Pre-conference Event at 10:30 and the Global Issues SIG Pre-conference Event at 13:55; on Thursday 6th April I’ll be speaking at the main conference at 10:30. I hope you can come.

      All the best,

      Kieran

   I really like this lesson. The content is incredibly relevant to a teaching situation with young teenagers who don’t always treat each other (or teachers) with much respect and the balance between language input and visual input seems to be just right. I prefer this to some of the silent films which you have posted in the past. I haven’t used it yet but am really looking forward to doing so.
