My problem is that low level students need to speak, but there is very little material out there to scaffold their conversations #eltchat |

@SueAnnan Agree #eltchat and coursebooks tend to have very little by way of speaking ANYway |

@tesolmatthew @SueAnnan Hya!!!! Great to see your face around these parts after so long #eltchat |
SueAnnan |
2019-11-13T19:12:00 |
@Marisa_C But even material made for speaking doesn't address the issue #eltchat |

#ELTchat Simple surveys are always a hit. Report back to the class. |

to avoid turning them into grammarspeak, we can try to combine questions revising language and building on new expresions #eltchat |

@ddeubel The problem is that many of the Ls are French and don't have any interest in each other #eltchat |

SueAnnan |
2019-11-13T19:24:39 |
@Marisa_C I made a set of those with coloured pics, but the students don't have the vocabulary to use them #eltchat |
Marisa_C |
2019-11-13T19:24:52 |
@SueAnnan @ddeubel may be we should write a wee book of early speaking activities :-) #eltchat I have a few ready |
ddeubel |
2019-11-13T19:25:05 |
@Marisa_C @SueAnnan Yes. And young learners really love retelling funny stories, jokes are perfect. #ELTchat |
ddeubel |
2019-11-13T19:25:13 |
@SueAnnan Well do an interest survey and find their sweet spot maybe? #ELTchat |
