Conversation Club class
|

Hello, Buddies!!! I work in an English institute and now I have the opportunity to work with two special classes. Conversation Club "Basic - Intermediate", what I have done is to work a frame like this: A song, A dialogue with special idioms and questions related to any topic. I think now the class is getting boring and it turned inot something monotunous.
I�m writing to ask you for help and new ideas to liven up my class and motivate my students to use their skills and speak English.
I really appreciate what you can advice me!!!
Thx a million in advanced! |

I downloaded a few worksheets that were a lot of fun to do with my intermediate conversation classes.
One was speed dating and one was a murder mystery game.
You could try these two games it really gets the class involved and they get to speak quite a bit.

In one of my classes I told them all to write questions using whatever I wanted to practice (all in simple past, each sentence in a different tense, all in the second conditional...)They had to write as many questions as they could, but each question in a different piece of paper. They would hand me the questions and I �d have a look to get the ones which are correct and throw away the ones which are not.
Then, we arranged the chairs in 2 circles, with no tables, 1 chair in front of another one, and then they had to sit on those chairs. Either the students of the outer or the inner circles would have to move whenever I told them to.
After that I gave each one some questions at random (from the ones the students made) and they will always have to ask these questions to the student in front of them. They will always ask the same questions but will always be asked different questions as the student in front of them will always be a different one.
Now they have to sit on the chair and ask the student in front of them their questions. When I say so, the students in one circle move one chair to the right. It will go on until they have asked questions to everyone in the class.
I got the idea from one teacher in this site, who had made questions so that we could play this game. I do the same, but they invent their own questions. I hope you like it. My students love it.
