Reluctant students
Preaparation:
The value of repetition: each new encounter with a word phrase helps
to fix it in the students’ memory. Repetition has other beneficial too: it
allwos students to improve on what they did before.
Big groups, small groups: a major reason for the reluctance of the
some students in speaking activities is that they find themselves having to
talk in front of big group. A way of counteracting this is by making sure if
that they get chances to speak and interract in smaller groups,too.
Mandatory participation:
Acting out dialogues: when choosing who should come out to the front
of the class, we should be careful not to choose the shyest student first.
We must give them time to work on their dialogues so thatthey will gain
much more from the whole experience.
