Our Mission: The London ESL For Success free study program is open to all newcomers regardless of immigration status. In order to provide our students with a practical and engaging ESL classroom experience, we have created activities especially-tailored for those who wish to further develop the four essential components of English language-based communication: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Our prime directive is to assist adult newcomers to attain the English language proficiency that will enable them to achieve the personal success they desire.

The Interrogation Game - Who is telling the truth?

Each of you will receive a "Post-it" sheet. On that piece of paper, you will write three facts about yourselves that nobody in the class knows about you. Make sure to include your name on the top of the page. The teacher will collect the sheets of paper and invite three students to the front of the room and arrange them side-by-side as if they are in a police lineup. The teacher will then read aloud one of the facts that is true for only one of these three students.

All three, one after the other, will claim that the fact is theirs, and the rest of the class must now proceed to interrogate (question) them in an attempt to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying. Each student is allowed to ask one question to one of the three students. After a round of questioning, the students will deliver their verdict. This game will be the warmup activity for the Agenda on March 26.
