Through playful lessons, games, and digital activities, students improve their English vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation. At the same time, they build key competences such as literacy, multilingual communication, digital skills, and cultural awareness. The project connects language learning with real-life experiences and encourages curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. By sharing their ideas and examples, students learn not only from their teachers but also from their international friends.
“ Homophone Hunters” makes learning English more personal, more fun, and much more meaningful! In Homophone Hunters, students take part in fun and meaningful tasks that help them explore the English language in a creative way. Each activity is designed to match their age( 10 – 12) years old) and supports their learning systematically. Students work on tasks like: discovering and collecting homophones from songs, books, games, or everyday conversations, creating drawings, flashcards, posters or short videos to show the difference between words like bare and bear, playing interactive games and quizzes to test their knowledge, to share examples from their own language or culture, working in international teams to create digital minidictionaries or short stories using homophones.
Through these tasks, students develop not only their English vocabulary and spelling, but also important skills like teamwork, digital competence, creative thinking, and confidence in communication. Teachers guide them along the way, offering
encouragement, explanations, and helping them connect their own experiences to what they learn. The tasks are fun, personal, and make learning truly come alive! Throughout the Homophone Hunters project, tasks were thoughtfully designed to support learning through creativity, collaboration, and meaningful communication. Each stage of the project brought unique opportunities for students to take initiative and engage with content in fun and educational ways.
Pedagogical innovation From the beginning, the project stood out through its original and engaging approach to exploring homophones. Instead of simply memorizing word pairs, students became language explorers, taking on active roles, such as artists( drawing and illustrating homophones), journalists( interviewing classmates or family members to find homophones used in daily life), technicians( creating digital presentations or interactive games), and even actors( performing short dialogues or sketches using homophones).
Teachers used a wide range of methods, from storytelling and problem solving to comparative activities and peer feedback— to make learning dynamic and adapted to students’ needs. Pupils were encouraged to ask questions, discover meanings, and bring examples from their personal experience, making the learning process deeply personal and relevant.
Curricular integration The project was fully aligned with the national curriculum, especially within Foreign Languages, Language &
