Let’s Talk

This month I wanted to focus on my students’ speaking skills so I found a website that offers questions for conversation practice on various topics. The students were paired up with a conversation partner and they picked a topic of mutual interest. Each then received different sets of questions to take turns asking. As I went around monitoring the conversations, I was hearing some big SAT vocabulary being used. So we did a follow up lesson on the difference between language for writing vs. speaking and also went over some phrasal verbs. I plan on spending more time on these speaking activities.
