The majority of students I meet all want to improve one skill more than any other: speaking.
It’s the one area where students feel most vulnerable, uncomfortable and where they lack the most confidence. That’s why in many schools and academies they offer dedicated conversation classes in an attempt to get students into the routine of speaking regularly.
Teachers often run these classes by providing students with lots of prompts on any given topic. One mistake teachers make is believing that simply assigning these prompts and giving students the time to speak is enough. These teachers will often let a 60 minute class go by without giving any kind of feedback and without feedback, students will not improve.
If you are teaching your students online then you should read my post on the basics of teaching students online one to one right here.
That’s why when you teach conversation classes you should follow these instructions in the free resource below.
My conversation videos are a great resource to get students practicing but I also have a variety of speaking games available for the present simple, present continuous and past simple.
By following the steps in the resource above you ensure that not only your students get the speaking practice they need but also the feedback they need to improve.
