Conclusion A good way to get your students to use vocabulary or grammar taught in the lesson in a fun and interesting way is through a ranking. The teacher should create a list of x things related to a topic and ask the students to work individually to rank them in value or importance. Students should then be paired up to discuss their order, or even compromise to create a newly ranked list, before discussing as a whole class.
For example, if I teach a lesson on vocabulary words to describe a city like noisy, crowded, or modern, I can ask the students to think about "The Perfect Place to Live." As they consider this place, they have to rank the adjectives, with #1 being the most important, in the order they deem important when choosing the ideal place to live. With a partner, they have to discuss their reasoning in putting them in this order and be prepared to explain to the class. The possibilities are pretty endless here, but make sure you students have enough vocabulary to defend and explain their choices!
A tried-and-true speaking activity for any classroom, a debate is a great way to get your students speaking in the target language and can include a specific grammar concept or set of vocabulary words. After a lesson on work-related vocabulary like minimum wage, labor unions and overtime, the teacher can assign each student to one of two teams. Team A must always argue against the issue at hand and Team B must always argue in favor of the issue being discussed. The teacher can have the groups work through a set of statements before coming back together as a class to debate the issues.
All in all, when planning a speaking skills lesson, be aware that using language in speech is not necessarily practice of speaking as a language skill. Developing the range of competencies that make ‘a good speaker’ takes focus on the ways that we speak to different people, and the ways we construct what we are saying.
