VOKIS AND OTHER AVATARS

Students seem to love making their own avatars so why not have them practise their English whilst doing it.  I recently had students make avatars on www.voki.com practising the structure 'Present Continuous'.  They had to make the avatar, record a sentence about what they were doing or someone in their family were doing at that moment and send it to their teacher.  Not only are they practising their English; they are also using new tools technologies which are sure to help them with their blogging, facebook or personal websites.  They also feel motivated to do this type of task which is clearly important for their learning process.
Below is a link to one of my student's vokis:
