Most new arrivals in Australia want to see kangaroosand touch a koala. This unit of work harnesses their interest in animals and explores the smorgasbord of language opportunities that this topic provides. From simple exercises naming the animals, to developing vocabulary and pronunciation skills in areas including naming colours, movement verbs, life cycles of different animals, habitat and food requirements, parts of the body, predators, threats to their survival and environmental issues-the topic Australian Animals allows students to interact and learn in a myriad of learning situations both in and out ofthe classroom.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nWhen new migrants or tourists arrive in Australia they sometimes have a ‘wish list’ of things they want to see and do in Australia. This agenda usually includes seeing the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge , going to Uluru, swimming on the Great Barrier Reef, feeding a kangaroo and being able to cuddle a koala.  \nLessons based on Australia’s native animals can boost their enthusiasm , knowledge of Australia and improve their English. Depending on their level of English, this could last as short as a few lessons or as long as a few weeks. Such a course should broaden and improve their vocabulary, speaking, listening, writing, reading skills and further develop their understanding of English, all based on Australian animals.  \nAs a tutor, plan your course so that enthusiasm is maintained and student’s interest is held. You can include all sorts of English challenges, including vocabulary development through quizzes, reading development through cloze exercises, speaking skills improvement through role plays and discussions.  \nFirst build on what they know.  \n1. Brainstorm Australian animals  \nHow many Australian animals and birds can they name?  \nThis work and their discussion may indicate a few pronunciation problems which can be dealt with later through pronunciation practice sessions.  \n2. Pronunciation  \nBring out lots of pictures. Collect some resource books from the library of Australian wildlife. Students can name the animals and birds they recognise. For lower level classes a pronunciation exercise is useful for students to repeat the animals’ names.  \nTongue Twisters are great for pronunciation, stress, fluency, intonation and fun, they could repeat after you:  \nKangaroo Cockatoo Wallaroo Didgeridoo How do you do?  \nI’ve lost my shoe!  \nWhat can I do?  \n3. Questions?  \nQuestion formation is important and what better way to initiate this than with an animal-based activity.  \n‘What’s its name? Where does it live? What does it eat? How big does it grow? How does it move?’  \nNewspaper or magazine articles about animal issues for reading/ conversation can occur. Such articles are informative, topical, stimulating and sometimes controversial. Culling koalas and eating kangaroos are strong topics at a slightly higher level.  \n4. Who am I?  \nPlay a ‘Who am I?’ game, where students guess an animal’s name use a picture or word and they have to ask the questions so that the answer is ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. From these answers they discover what sort of animal you are. This is good fun and involves an amazing amount of speaking practice. ‘Platypus males have a poisonous spur on their hind legs. What other animals are poisonous?’  \n5. Colours and patterns  \nColours and patterns can easily be taught using the animal and bird theme. Australian animals are so vibrant and different from those in the students’own countries, that there is a lot they want to discover about them. What colour is their beak/ nose/ fur/ feather/ ears? Are they all the same colour or do the colours change? Why do they change? Do they have patterns on their skin or fur? Are they mottled or brindle?
