This blog has been created to serve as a humble resource for secondary school English teachers looking to make their spoken English activities more fun and creative. Rather than rigid and boring exercises, I aim to incorporate improvisation and games to encourage students to express themselves in English. I offer ideas and provide solutions. All activities are just a starting point. Teachers can adapt them to their needs.

CANNED MOMENTS
Imagine that you could CAN AND PRESERVE special moments from your life, just like food. Imagine you could keep them safe and open them again whenever you need them.
Think of one unique or meaningful moment that you would like to preserve forever.
It could be:
TAKE YOUR TIME TO EXPLAIN THESE SPECIAL MOMENTS IN SOMEONE'S LIFE. HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED SUCH MOMENTS IN YOUR OWN LIFE?
STUDENTS PULL QUESTION SLIPS OUT OF A HAT (OR A BOX OR BAG)AND GIVE QUICK, SHORT ANSWERS. IT'S A FUN, LOW-PRESSURE WAY TO BREAK THE ICE AND GET EVERYONE TALKING. EVERYONE TAKES TURNS DRAWING A CARD, READING IT, AND SHARING A QUICK RESPONSE.
Do you often listen to the radio? Do you think listening to the radio is something only baby boomers do?

SOME STUDENTS THINK ENGLISH IS USELESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE UNMOTIVATED OR AT RISK OF DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL BUT ENGLISH IS ALREADY PART OF THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. THEY USE ENGLISH IN VIDEO GAMES, MUSIC, SOCIAL MEDIA, APPS, FILMS, SPORTS AND ON THE INTERNET.
SHOWING STUDENTS THAT THEY ALREADY USE ENGLISH EVERY DAY CAN MAKE THE SUBJECT MORE MEANINGFUL. IT CAN HELP THEM SEE ENGLISH NOT AS ANOTHER SCHOOL SUBJECT, BUT AS A USEFUL TOOL FOR REAL LIFE.
