I often try to speak in the students first language to show them that of course people make mistakes, and that is perfectly acceptable , of course some times funny, and nothing NOTHING to worry about! This is a more difficult task with adult learners, but still achievable highlighting their motivations for learning the language and how it can benefit them at the beginning of sessions helps with this, especially if you go on to highlight how speaking is going to be the most important skill in the vas majority of these situations.
In careers, social occasions and travel. Speaking is the most important skill they will learn. One thing both younger and older students have in common? We all like to have fun. These speaking games below can all be adapted to suit either a Kindergarten classroom, ESL or otherwise, or a boardroom training session. There is something for every classroom situation. Also where we have them on our site we will link to the files for you to download to make it more convenient for you.
If you want to jump to a specific game just click on the list below. This English speaking activity is both fun and useful. The aim is to get students to speak for 30 seconds about topics that may or may not be out of their comfort zone. We have a list of topics here for you to choose from, and of course you can think of your own.
There are two ways to approach this, you can introduce the task by asking them to work individually first, or move straight onto the game below.
These type of activities used to be in puzzle magazines all the time. There sis a fair deal of explaining required to them but basically it s a logical fill in the blanks. It is better suited to higher level students, but its a great English Speaking game when adapted properly.
We have a separate page for the full details, and it is in this speaking exercise book free download but will highlight the basics here to see if it is something that fits your teaching needs. The aim is to fill in the table with all the information so you know everything about the residents of Downing street.
However you have to walk around and ask the rest of the class for that information, only once you have spoken to everyone will you be able to work it out. This is a great English speaking game that gets the whole class taking to each other, and forgetting about the language they are doing that in!
You will need the table worksheet for students to fill in and the list of information and clues both on the links includes here. Once your students have the answers then it can be gone through together on the board or white board and it adds another speaking element to the lesson.
This is a great speaking game for ESL students and other. It really encourages them to speak to each other. As an added bonus for teachers we get to act as facilitator rather than be stuck at the front of the classroom. Adaptations: It is possible to add clues carefully to make sure they fit the answers doing this makes it much easier.
The aim is to get the students speaking to each other not just the logic side of the activity. Ask and respond activities give students the comfort of a script to follow, which means those who are a little self conscious have some scaffolding to work from. It also means these activities are suitable for lower level students who need that extra help. We have one designed for younger learners here. It is possible to actually have the directions already prewritten for students.
This means they can practice reading, speaking and listening in one activity. Also it is possible to have your class spend a lesson coming up with the directions themselves and then putting them all in a box or bag at the front for the whole class to use. This means you add writing and they are actually using their own work to prepare a lesson. One of the main problems when teacher oral English speaking lessons is that the class invariably turns into robots.
This is not intentional, so much effort goes into speaking in another language that putting emotion and expression into what they are saying comes way , WAY down the list. So sometimes a little nudge in the right direction is all they need. We have designed an ESL speaking game and lesson to do just that.
Adding expression to their speech is a large step towards sounding natural and developing English fluency. In English to sound more natural we have a set of almost automatic set of responses on hearing good, bad or surprising news. As a game you can then repeat the same sort or exercise as the activity above. Have a selection of sentences than usually require a response and then ask for the incorrect response.
No one expects you to say congratulations when you tell them your little rabbits died yesterday!!! They can, and have been, played with second language kindergarten students all the way up to native speaking business people with the same amount of fun. The language from the business people was perhaps a little ruder than the kindergarten children but only a little! It is a superb English speaking game for ESL students and native speakers. In it they had a rather colorful character called Timmy Mallet who, among other things, played a game called mallets mallet.
In this game the players, always children, had to think of a word associated with whatever Timmy said. There was no hesitation, repetition, or ummm or errrrrs allowed or they got a bonk on the head.
