help with my conversation class
 
Hello everyone, I need your help. On Monday, our American assistant teacher is coming for the fourth time this school year to speak with my12 year old students and the assistant doesn �t really know what to do with them because their level is quite low and I am a bit short of ideas. Can you suggest anything?
Thanks in advance
Yolanda

Hi, Yolanda. You could try this http://iteslj.org/questions/ Pick up one or two (music, sports, television...) The questions are not difficult and the teacher can adapt them if your students can �t follow him. Hope it helps!

Why don �t you suggest that he looks at the site genki English for some ideas? Though predominantly aimed at elemntar school students, I �m sure that many of the games and activities suggested would work well with 12 year olds, especially if they �re of a lower level.

 
I �ll find the link for you:
 
This is for the games page and I see it even has sections for junior high and high school students, so I �m sure he �ll find some great ideas.
 
Hope it helps.
Love Julia
