The Life of Charles Dickens

In mid-February we posted a number of resources on Charles Dickens to commemorate his 200th anniversary. These resources included the BBC video The Life of Charles Dickens.

Chance has it that I have stumbled upon some online activities around this video created by English Exercises.

The activities include a fill-in the blanks listening activity, two vocabulary activities, and a general comprehension activity. A transcript of the video is also provided.

If you are Básico 2 or Intermediate 1 student, click on this link to be redirected to English Exercises and do the above-mentioned activities on  The Life of Charles Dickens.



Along these lines Oxford University Press also published in their February newsletter a number of online resources on Charles Dickens, which I list below.
