SPEED-CHATTING (ALSO CALLED SPEED-TALKING OR SPEED CONVERSATIONS) IS AN ESL CLASSROOM ACTIVITY BASED ON THE SPEED-DATING CONCEPT, WHERE STUDENTS HAVE BRIEF,TIMED CONVERSATIONS WITH MULTIPLE PARTNERS.
HOW IT WORKS:
STUDENTS SIT IN TWO ROWS FACING EACH OTHER OR FORM INNER AND OUTER CIRCLES. EACH PAIR GETS A CONVERSATION TOPIC OR QUESTION. STUDENTS CHAT FOR 2.3 MINUTES, THEN ONE ROW OR CIRCLE ROTATES. PROCESS REPEATS WITH NEW PARTNERS AND TOPICS
