SPEAKING ACTIVITIES

One –on-one speaking activity

This is a common activity used by many teachers. Since I was in basic courses, teachers used to make us discuss or explain something to the person sitting next to us, and I think that this activity is really useful because we can interact with people we don’t know since the first day of class or also we can interact with teachers.

In- class Debates

This activity involves two groups of students who have different points of view. They discuss about any topic while they can improve the way they speak and add more new vocabulary .This activity is applied by many teachers to make students loose shyness; I mean, to learn to give opinions and reasons in public.

I believe that speaking activities are really important because it really help students to improve their speaking skill and also to lose shyness, to learn how to work in groups and so on. Also I believe that this is  a good way to practice to be fluent and speak accurately.
