I have also been able to explain aspects of British culture which they saw, but didn �t understand.

 

I asked lots of questions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If there is a Park, an Open-Air-Market, Street Entertainment, a River, a Farm, a Railway Station, etc. these can be excellent topics.

 

I hope that I have helped.

He loved it, and learned quite a lot, even though I was a novice teacher at the time. 

 

The great outdoors has a wonderfully un-inhibiting effect on students, so you can push them to do stuff they �d normally be shy about.  That student was pretty open minded though anyway, which is how I got him out there in the first place.  Here in Brazil I doubt anybody would be up for it, and even if they were, there aren �t any good walks near where I now live - everywhere you go you get accosted by folk trying to sell you stuff. 

 

The advice I would give to you is, if you �re used to using paper a lot, wean yourself off that habit first, and start thinking about the realia you will use instead out on your walk, which will be scenery, weather, signs/notices, found objects and perhaps clothes.  I guess you may be able to bring maps into it somehow too, but I never tried that.
