On 17 March OUP presented 2 seminars of British educator Christopher Graham.
The first seminar was called "Teenagers: how can I make them speak?" where Christopher highlighted 3 elements essential for successful speaking practice
Language an ability to express your ideas.
Motivation consists of many issues. Sometimes teenagers just don't know what to speak about. In Christophes' opinion that is why teachers needs to select their topics carefully. It should be either things they hope for, things that matter or things they want to complain about.
Self-confidence is vital for motivation. There are many ways a teacher can help students to build up self-confidence from appropriate and relevant tasks to creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom. A great deal of confidence is dependant on how teachers give feedback to students. It should always be constructive and it should be clear for students which criteria a teacher uses to assess their work. A golden formula for giving feedback from Christopher is
describe what you hear
describe how you feel
describe what can be done
Opportunity. This is the hardest element to give to our students as they have little exposure to English in their lives. However, the Internet has changed the situation a lot in this regard, and our task as educators is to connect our classroom activities to the world out there. The teacher though still remains the main sourse of exposure to language and it is a good idea to rethink the structure of the lessons to maximize students' speaking time.
