Giving students a Voice: Practice Speaking in Many Ways
Debbie West
Summary
In learning a language, it is not enough to just know the vocabulary and grammar rules. You have the challenge of listening to and understanding others and then speaking yourself to see if the magic of communication happens. It is like magic when you witness your learners find their voice become able to communicate in the language they are studying. Let’s have some fun with different activities we can use in different teaching and learning situations, from simple to guided.
