I found that my Chinese students had had few opportunities to talk in front of a group of people; they were very nervous and uneasy about being in the spot light.
I decided to use pictures as the source of inspiration; the students worked in pairs and had to develop a short story about 2 pictures that they received.
They spent 5 - 10 minutes developing the story and the presentation.
Then they shared their stories with the class.
By the end of the course, I was pleased to see some of my shyest students with low English proficiency, speaking loudly and clearly, and at ease.
