Book Day : Discovering Shakespeare and Cervantes Through Speaking



If you are looking for engaging ways to combine culture and communication in your English lessons, these two resources are designed to do exactly that. Focused on the lives of William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, they move beyond passive reading and place students at the centre of the learning process.

In both activities, learners work collaboratively: each student holds different pieces of information and must ask their partner questions to complete the full picture. This information gap approach promotes real interaction, encourages the use of meaningful questions, and reinforces key biographical content in a dynamic way.

Ideal for A2–B1 levels, these materials integrate culture, speaking practice, and cooperative learning—making literature more accessible and communicative in the classroom.
