Conversation Trouble!!! Advise Please!!!
|
Hello fellow teachers!!! I have a problem that I have been dealing with since I started my new job. I have all ages from 2-17years old. My students come to me as an after school program for extra learning. They are all very intelligent and have a pretty good hold on the English Language at times. I mainly have to have conversations with all of my age groups. Its very difficult to have conversations with a 3year old and its difficult to think of the key phrases to teach them every month. I especially have a hard time with my 10year old-13year year old groups. These students have been studying since they were 3years old and don �t need the basic sentences.
So now for my question!!! Please anyone let me know what I can do about this. I need conversation questions that I can have with my students:) Please help me to come up with more to ask my students. I am desperate since there is little information on having conversations with extremely intermediate to advance students. Thanks!!!

We like to use stories. Read the stories and talk about the characters. Talk about what the characters could have done or changing the characters and endings in stories. I also look online for newsy events that affect that age group. Of course, this would be tricky with the little ones. With very young children, games, I think, are the key. Getting them to use their English without getting bored is a challenge. Best of luck : )
