DOGME teacing approach
 
Hi dear colleagues,
Have you ever tried DOGME in your classroom?  I decided to try this  method with my private student (45 years old) as he wants solely speaking practice and nothing else. I �ve searched the net but the information I found deals mostly with either complementing or criticising the method or that it �s coursebooks free and not a word about the actual lesson. I �ve found some activities S.Thornbury recommends but they are mostly for large classes.

 Is it that I just ask my student to choose a topic he would like to talk about , give him some time to prepare and then we start a discussion?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot, Lili, though I �m puzzled a bit now, do I understand the whole DOGME idea just wrong? (That �s a rhetorical questionSmile)
