Incorporating Speaking Activities into Lessons

Intended audience: Teachers who follow a prescribed curriculum or work in more traditional teaching contexts.
Short description:
Teachers working with fixed curricula can still create opportunities for meaningful speaking. This workshop explores practical ways to add manageable speaking activities to lessons that normally focus on grammar explanation and controlled practice.
Likely takeaways:
• Speaking activities that can be added without abandoning the required curriculum.
• Ways to move from controlled language practice towards meaningful communication.
