Topic: Teaching Speaking

One of our challenges as English language teachers is to come up with a continuous supply of different motivating and interactive activities that provide our students with the maximum opportunity to communicate in real situations. The courses in this section focus on helping you with this challenge.

Using Drama to Teach English

Drama provides us with a wonderful selection of activities and techniques to use in the English language classroom. Drama activities are interactive, creative, and just plain fun. They are effective with all personality types (both outgoing and reserved), all language ability levels, all ages and all class sizes. And best of all, you don’t have to be a drama expert to use these activities.

In this course, we take you through why drama activities are effective in the language classroom and the different types of activities that you can select from. The majority of the course, however, involves introducing you to specific drama activities to use. At the end of the course you will have a full tool box of drama activities to draw from.

Using Debates to Teach English

Debating, a formal process to follow to argue a point or position, is an effective communication task to include in speaking classes in order to give students the opportunity to work on key speaking skills. These skills include offering opinion, agreeing, disagreeing and persuading. In this session, we look at how to use debates in our speaking classes to fully exploit student experiential learning.
