I once taught for a summer in Poland during the mid - 90's and afterwards got the chance to see Kracow. It was interesting to listen to the Lonely Planet's travelcast describing the various night spots there. It was a bit quiet then. Still, it seems they've lost no time in catching up.
I thought that the podcast would make a good basis for an advanced lesson.
LESSON PLAN
I Ask students ask about their favourite bar or cafe. What makes it special ? Would it appeal to a foreign visitor ?
2 Ask students what they know about Krakow, Poland. If you think that they'll not be able to answer then set this for homework.
3 Play one short extract from the first few minutes of the podcasts.
4 Students write down everything they can from it. They then share their information with each other.
5 Play the extract again. Students then discuss the differences between their favourite cafe and the one mentioned in the extract.
6 Divide students into two groups and explain to them that they are going to do something similar. One group thinks up questions and the other think about how to describe their bar/cafe.
7 Put the students in pairs and let one interview the other.
If possible record the interview. It could become a great podcast idea.
