Word Grab with Songs Level: Any Level This is a wonderful activity if you think your class needs waking up a little. Is Your Conversation Style Feminine or Masculine? Level: Medium The following activity is loosely based on Conversation Analysis readings, so nothing is hard and fast doctrine. If nothing else, it should generate chat. Put yes (Y) or no (N) for the sentences below. Generally speaking, when I converse with people I know: 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 21 would be more feminine traits-generally speaking The rest, male. Once again, the activity should not give rise to aggressive exchanges.

Speed Chatting – pratigt, roligt och lärorikt. | Hanna Fjeld Nu tänker jag bjuda på ett lektionsupplägg som eleverna gillar och som brukar vara mycket lyckat. Det handlar om speed chatting. Ja, det låter nästan som speed dating och det är nästan vad det är. Jag brukar introducera den här samtalsövningen i år 7, då får eleverna titta på bilder som jag satt ihop i ett bildspel och diskutera det de ser och associerar till. Övningen går att variera på flera olika sätt: prata om ord, påståenden, korta filmklipp, låta eleverna sitta i grupper eller att prata under längre tid. Min uppfattning är att eleverna verkligen gillar att prata engelska, men att de ganska ofta tycker att det är pinsamt att göra det i klassrummet. /Hanna 705 FREE Speaking Worksheets Learning to speak a new language is definitely a challenge.
