Workshop
Teaching speaking in very large classes
A practical Saturday workshop on getting sixty learners speaking, with activities you can use on Sunday morning.
Large classes are the norm for most English teachers in Bangladesh, and most published speaking activities assume a class of twelve. This workshop works from the classroom you actually have.
During the day
- Activities that give every learner talking time without losing control of the room
- Grouping and seating that work with fixed furniture
- Assessing speaking when you cannot hear everybody
Bring a coursebook unit you are teaching this term — the afternoon is spent adapting it.
