They want more conversation in class!

101 Communicative Games for the English Class by Turtledove (on Amazon.com)

My new favorite resource book!

In level 5 we have been doing some open conversation for the last few weeks.

The students seem to love the improvisation and miming scenes they create.  It usually takes them a little bit to get warmed up but once they do, they really get into it and start having fun - like children playing make believe.

So far they have created a Telenovela and improvised scenes and characters for exaggerated melodramatic effect.

They also did a deserted island improv and mimed out an entire scene of their characters working as a team to get some coconuts out of a tree using rope, a knife, and an axe.


"I'm the king of the island!!!"  He who holds the coconuts
