1. Teacher For a Day

Students share their ideas on how to make class more interesting and engaging. Let them discuss an ideal day in your ESL class and then propose their ideas to you.

2. Describe a Picture

Give each student an unusual photograph (use photostocks for that), and ask them to create a story to go along with the picture. After they have planned their stories, have them share their pictures and stories.

3. Redo Your Talk

Students identify a conversation in their past that was unsuccessful, perhaps when they were first learning to speak English. Ask them to redo that conversation by looking back, identifying their mistakes, determining how to avoid the, and then role play the conversation with a classmate.

4. TripAdvisor

Ask your students to plan a field trip. For this activity, you need to choose a particular topic to limit the conversation. They can plan a family dinner, a sports event, etc.
