Help your ESL/ELL students practice listening comprehension while learning about authentic Chilean culture with this Fiestas Patrias Listening Activity!

Students follow Camila, Matías, and Diego as they celebrate Fiestas Patrias (Chilean Independence Day) at home, at the fonda, and in the countryside — practicing real vocabulary like cook an asado, dance cueca, eat anticuchos, fly kites, and drink mote con huesillos.

This resource follows the Pre / While / Post-Listening structure, so students build background knowledge before listening, actively check their understanding during the audio, and extend their learning with a writing task afterward.

⭐ WHAT'S INCLUDED:
✔ Interactive Canva presentation with embedded audio (6 slides)
✔ 2-page printable student worksheet (PDF)
✔ Full answer key, including a quick-check rubric for the writing task
✔ Bonus: short video tutorial on how to adjust the audio speed for different student levels

⭐ HOW IT WORKS:
Pre-Listening — Students match key phrases to pictures and make predictions about who says what.
While-Listening — Students listen to the audio, check their guesses, and answer multiple-choice comprehension questions.
Post-Listening — Students write about how they celebrate a holiday or family tradition, using the target vocabulary.

⭐ WHY TEACHERS LOVE IT:
✔ No prep — just open the link and go
✔ Real, authentic audio (not robotic text-to-speech)
✔ Culturally relevant content that resonates with Latino/Hispanic students
✔ Answer key included, so it's ready for sub plans or independent work
✔ Editable in Canva — tweak it to fit your classroom

⭐ PERFECT FOR:
ESL/ELL classrooms, Newcomer programs, Spanish heritage classes, or any class celebrating September 18th!

📌 This resource is delivered as a Canva Template link (with a free Canva account, you can make your own editable copy) plus a printable PDF worksheet and answer key.
