Hi! I �m stefy, it �s the first time I use this section of the web page, but I really need your help!
It �s getting really hard for my students to speak in English while we are doing activities in the classroom, and I really want them to use it...
Do you have any activities that we can do during our short classes (only 1 hour, twice a week)?
I hope you can help me
It �s an awesome web page and there are really amazing people here!
thank you in advance
xoxo

hi,stefy. i know it would be difficult to let them speak when the time is limited. however,there is an activity on my printable could be fun and helpful. it s a card game,all you have to do is prepare a set of cards,and the worksheet tells u what u should do. i use it every time when my students get bored of learning,and it works all the time. wish u good luck.and tell me if it works for u as well.

You can work as usual, but give them points for speaking English! Of course you will find lots of pair work cards here to encourage them to speak the language. But you should think of other tools too!
How old are they? The younger they are, the easier it will be for you to find a way to praise them!
Good Luck

Hi. I would like to give some tips for encouraging your students to speak English joyfully. Make your students talk about things they love ( SHOW AND TELL). Make your students bring their favorite objects and try to make show and tell about them. Or have them talk about their favorite topics for sixty seconds. They can bring their favorite books and make a book review (BOOK REVIEW). Let your students have fun enjoy using the English language.

Actually, it wouldn �t be a bad idea to have a section specifically for speaking activities. Now there is a section for readings, I would love to have a section for speaking activities, for songs and for games...sometimes I feel I can not fully utilize the treasures on this site simply because there are too many to look thru! A problem of luxury and abundance, how spoilt we are!
