Party leaders interviewed in English

Your first group assignment deals with the Finnish parliamentary elections.

1) Out of the major party leaders interviewed in English here, each group will choose one whose interview you want to watch.

2) You will then each individually watch the interview (about 10 minutes) and make notes on the following questions:

1. Mention three important topics that are discussed in the video and the changes that this party leader suggests.
2. What do they say about other parties? Which ones are they willing to cooperate with and which ones not? Why?
3. What could you say about this person's English? Do you notice them struggling with words? Overall, do they represent themselves and their party well in English?

3) After all of you have finished watching the video and making your notes, discuss these issues in English and combine your answers to write one analysis of the video on your group's blog. Include at least five words from the list on p. 11 and write them in bold in your text.

4) When you're done, write the address of your blog to the comment box of this posting!
