1. We think the Family Relationship activity is good, but probably cannot be used in the beginner level class and it is best used for intermediate students with some fundamental vocabulary knowledge. Also, it depends a lot on students who have been divided into adequate number of group such as the author mentioned around 8 to 10.
In addition, one of our group members mentioned about the activity that she used small cards to let students compare and teach them some set phrases as grammar activities. She also put some functioning formulaic patterns on board so that learners can practice more often. Another member also mentioned she may give students questionnaires as a warm-up activity and have students introduce themselves so that they can guess others’ names.
Furthermore, time management is important when holding a communicative snapshot activity.
2. The activities should be suitable for students from other countries. However, those activities should be considered for participants with different personalities. They can be adjusted a bit to make them fit for students in different countries.
3. The cultural background, class size, class atmosphere, students’ preferences, students’ levels, and diversity of age are vital factors for CLT content.
