1293. How to attain my students would speak in the target language



Teacher B said to teacher A, “How to achieve your students to speak in English? 

One way is by describing pictures. 

First the teacher describes several ones, on different days. They are pictures from illustrated magazines. 

After this describing many pictures in the target language, you select one picture and hand the magazine out to a student, and ask him to describe that picture. 

Now communication is the key point; don’t interrupt the student often; communication is the key thing now; let him speak; you can correct but very few mistakes and errors; help him with vocabulary. 

And so you have a student speaking in English. Something important is to teach the students two words: ‘foreground’ and ‘background’.” / Photo from: jazzpresentation com. woman presenting
