I'm looking for communicative ideas for intermediate level ESL students who 
will be going on a field trip. My class will be going to a local farmers' 
market (Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia and I want to encourage 
students to interact with merchants, ask questions and get information by 
speaking (rather than by reading signs or price lists). I also plan to ask 
sythesizing disucssion quesitons for follow-up, such as compare the market 
with a regular grocery store. What kinds of unusual food did you find? Why 
is this farmers' market considered a tourist attraction, etc.  If anyone has 
sucessful ideas for leading field trips into the community I'd love to read 
about them! Thanks!

P.S. I've searched the NIFL-ESL discussion archive and was unable to find 
any past postings.
