42. Shaun’s 5 tips: Teach the language students need for picture (prepositions, tenses) When using coursebook material encourage students to give a personal view and / or relate it to something Czech. Encourage pairwork - it gets students used to turn taking, making eye contact, showing interest, etc Don’t over correct – remember most exams are not about being 100% accurate, conveying the message is what counts. Spend a few minutes each lesson on speaking - even if it’s the not main aim of the lesson as I have shown, it’s easy to add speaking to any lesson.
