Getting Students to Talk is a resource book for those teachers of English who want to give their learners practice in oral communication. Since in real life speaking is frequently connected with other skills, many activities in this book involve both speaking and writing. Getting Students to Talk has been written with the adult learner in mind, but many activities can be used with adolescents. The teacher will be the best judge of what will appeal to her learners. The appropriate levels are intermediate and upwards. To make Getting Students to Talk as easy to use as possible ⚫the number of participants in most activities is flexible; ⚫ alternative procedures are suggested; ⚫ activities are followed by examples of the language that the learners might need, as well as by examples of typical mistakes; each activity is self-contained, although cross-references have been provided to enable the teacher to develop the activities according to the needs of her class; ⚫ in the indexes at the back of the book, all the activities have been listed according to the number of participants that can take part in them, as well as to the subject- matter they touch on.
