The document discusses strategies for developing students' Chinese speaking skills. It provides 15 tips which include: 1) having students express opinions and feelings, 2) teaching how to repair communication, 3) bringing the real world into the classroom through role-plays and authentic tasks, 4) providing criteria and learning goals for speaking tasks, 5) using technology like flipped classrooms, 6) incorporating games, 7) using motivational incentives, 8) teaching sentence structure and word order, 9) providing visual stimuli to encourage speaking, 10) establishing Chinese-only zones in the classroom, and 11) teaching students to take control of conversations by asking questions. The overall aim is to give students confidence and skills to communicate spontaneously in Chinese.
