Getting your students to talk
Love them or hate them, speaking exams are in and here to
stay. In this section we'll be giving you tips on how to prepare your students
for speaking exams by offering a list of functions, communication strategies

Talking about 'yourvirtualself'...
This activity is a slant on the

books at the beginning of the school year.
Students can choose to be a virtual
person and create a completely different character for the purposes of this
activity. They prepare a few notes based on the information below before the
class and could even be encouraged to find a photo on the internet.
