Try this walking tour as a teacher or English learner
I teach English as a foreign language and I believe that getting outside is a great way to motivate students and learn English. Recently, I took a lower intermediate level student on a tour around Dundee, Scotland.
Why Dundee?
Firstly, Dundee is the home of Discovery Languages! Furthermore, Dundee town centre is an ideal spot for a short one-hour walking tour. Moreover, it has a rich blend of history, culture, and scenic charm. Thanks to its compact layout makes it easy to explore on foot. Key attractions located within a short distance of each other. To begin, we started at the waterfront, visitors can enjoy stunning views of the River Tay, the striking architecture of the V&A Dundee, and the historic RRS Discovery shipÂ
Moving inland, the city’s heritage unfolds through its preserved closes and courtyards, remnants of Dundee’s time as a major Baltic trading port. In addition, the city centre walk also highlights elegant Victorian streetscapes like Whitehall Crescent, inspired by Parisian design.
Along the way, public art installations, green spaces, and independent shops add vibrancy to the route. Whether you’re a history buff, architecture enthusiast, or casual stroller, Dundee’s town centre offers a rich, engaging experience in just an hour.
Guides
To help you with your tour, I have created a guide to the Dundee walking tour, and some background information. This information can be used by the student to get some information about Dundee in advance, and be introduced to some potentially new words. Feel free to explore and enjoy your tour!
