Foreword Introduction 1: Towards a classroom approach Explains how the activities in chapters 2 to 5 can be combined to provide a coherent approach to the teaching of conversation. 2: Controlled activities (25 activities) Controlled activities to help students develop confidence as well as the ability to participate in and maintain simple, commonly encountered conversations. 3: Awareness activities (20 activities) Activities designed to help students become aware of what native speakers do in conversation; the activities involve making observations, imitating, experimenting, and identifying aspects of the language. 4: Fluency activities (28 activities) Activities which help learners achieve conversational competence through: providing the experience of using English in real time (i.e. people do not wait for the right or the appropriate answer in real life); giving learners the chance to express their own ideas and emotions; giving learners the opportunity of using language for a specific purpose. 5: Feedback (12 tasks) Practical ways in which consistent and reliable feedback can be used to improve conversational performance.
