What Makes a Good Presentation? – The Canswedian English Teacher
So, you have told your class that they are going to do a presentation on something-or-other.

Intonation – Simple Conversation in Different Voices – The Canswedian English...

Go figure… There is this one professor that pre-records all the lessons so we can listen to them before the seminar. It takes ALL of my strength to stay awake during these pre-recorded lectures. Why you ask?
Communication Strategies
During conversation, certain communication strategies (Tarone, 1979, 1980) are used by second language learners, and even native speakers to aid them in communication and negotiation. The more of these strategies you apply, the more successful your language learning experience and contact with speakers will be. 1.

Sitting here in a super important meeting at school….so I decided to write a blog post. I just heard someone say it will go fast. We’re going on hour two now. Aaaanyhoo… The Great Balloon Debate is a great speaking activity/icebreaker for more advanced students (maybe grade 9).
Agree or disagree (and why?)
Scaffolding discussions for quiet students Some of my new classes this term have students who either whisper, speak in L1 or stay completely silent during speaking activities (even at int/upper int level). Part of this reluctance to speak seems to stem from having no knowledge or strong opinions about the topics being discussed, or not having enough time to think about an answer before a more confident student dominates the conversation. This activity was designed for quiet and shy students by helping them start from expressing a single opinion to engaging fully in a debate. This activity includes two sets of worksheets for Intermediate and Upper-intermediate classes which can be downloaded here as a powerpoint file or as a PDF. The following plan is based on an intermediate level class of 10 to 12 students.
