Descrizione
Communicative speaking is at the heart of language learning, yet in many classrooms it remains confined to a small part of a lesson. In this workshop, we will re-examine the role of spoken interaction in learners’ language development and explore practical ways of making speaking central to classroom learning.
Together, we will consider how classroom time can be managed to give learners multiple opportunities to speak meaningfully and with purpose. We will also try out a selection of hands-on activities that promote natural interaction as well as prepare learners for Trinity College London’s communicative exam tasks. Each activity will model how to scaffold language, manage speaking time effectively, and encourage reflection to help learners monitor and celebrate their progress.
