In order to enable our students to speak confidently and fluently, we must provide ample opportunities for pair and group work speaking activities in our classrooms, as well as encouragement for independent learning. These activities need to be relevant and authentic, success-oriented, and provide useful lexical items for students to learn, use, and recycle, both inside and outside the classroom. This website aims to provide materials to support this objective.
There are lesson plans and additional materials to enrich your lessons and to support the Keep Talking approved workbooks. Simply browse the pages listed in the site bar.
Although officially targeted for Junior High School students, LET'S TALK - (Course Writers: Renee Binyamini & Rachelle Borenstein; Pedagogical Advisor: Aharona Gvaryahu)
is entirely appropriate for LADDERS students moving up to 3 or 4 points. Teachers can upload the Let's Talk digital course and encourage teacher facilitated, independent learning, or simply make use of the enriching materials on the Let's Talk website - or BOTH!.
