010: Let's Talk Conversation in the ESL Classroom

Oral interaction is a critical part of the ESL classroom experience. In this episode, we are looking at the importance of oral interaction in an L2 class. The aim of this podcast is to discuss different ways teachers can get students talking, keep them talking and help them to be more accurate speakers of English as a second language. Join us for an interesting conversation with 2 experienced ESL teachers as they share some of what works for them in their classrooms.
