## Time to speak!

## Preparing for the speaking tasks

Make a choice: display poster or graphic organizer

Presentation (poster, ppt): Think about your own pedagogical vision. What do you think makes for good education? How would one see that in your classroom management? Make a display poster in which the classroom rules and pedagogical vision are clear. Present your work.

Graphic organizer: List your classroom rules and Make a 'persuasion map'. A persuasion map helps you prepare thoughts and arguments for a speech or debate. In this case, you will also think of questions to ask your partner.

Step 1: re-read your texts.

Step 2: define the claim you want to make. For instance, ‘In the past, teachers had more work,’ or ‘modern-day teachers have more freedom.’ Be creative!

Step 3: write down reasons for your claim. Make sure to think about pedagogical vision and classroom design.

Step 4: write down facts and examples to back up your claim.

Step 5: add questions you can ask your partner about their ideal classroom.

## Speaking task 7 Find a classmate and practice your conversation. Make sure to practice sentences like "In the old days, they used to... but now..." For independent work using ChatGPT*: Enter ChatGPT prompt 1: I want to talk about ending the lesson. Please listen and estimate my CEFR level of speaking. After speaking prompt 1: Please estimate my CEFR level of speaking. After speaking prompt 2: What suggestions can you make to improve my vocabulary, based on my speaking? After speaking, prompt 3: What suggestions can you make to improve my grammar, based on my speaking? After each ‘After speaking’ prompt, make notes of the feedback ChatGPT gives. Repeat the speaking task. ChatGPT prompt 2: I will now repeat the speaking task. Please check if I have applied your suggestions correctly. Make notes of the feedback ChatGPT gives. *Please note: please do not share any personal data with ChatGPT, such as your own name, age, address, school, or other personal information.

## Speaking task 8 Topic: Ending the lesson Imagine, It’s the last day of term. Everyone wants to leave the school happy and tidy looking forward to next term. For this task, you will make one choice from each column: a Role, an Audience, a Format, and a Topic. You may work independently or with a partner.
Role | Audience | Format | Topic
Principal | teachers | presentation | instructions on how to leave the classroom
Teacher | (fellow) Teacher | discussion | classroom and/or school rules for the new term
Student | (fellow) students | blog | reflecting in the classroom
Think about your role: what is your point of view? Think about your audience: who are you speaking to? What does that person want? Is there any conflict between what you see and what that audience wants? Think about the format: what format will best work for your message? Think about your topic: what is it, what are the pros and cons? Choose a standpoint and complete the task.
