What did the children/adolescents do?
• They chose a recipe from the EAT website• They cooked the recipe and filmed the project• They listed the names of the ingredients from
the website and repeated/recorded them• They subtitled the video of the cooking• They cooked a local recipe and made a similar
video to send to the children in the other country (in English) and compared the two recipes to decide which dish they preferred

How did the experiment go?
• It was very successful in terms of motivation (the children enjoyed the practical tasks including the eating and didn’t mind the language element, it was part of the fun)
• They enjoyed recording the names of food and making the video and subtitles and they were very proud of the results

Recommendations (1)
• This project needed a lot of organising from the leader (ingredients, shopping, facilities, equipment, cameras, computers etc) and is best for small groups of learners.
• The children needed a lot of help to edit their video and upload the result on the Internet (but they also had a lot of fun)

Recommendations (2)
The idea of filming an activity in which a foreignlanguage os also learnt can be applied to manythemes (many easier than cooking!)Ex: ball games, hide & seek, society games, TV
games/competition ideas or drama (acting a well known scenario, song, musical, murder story etc)
