My ESL/EFL students need more opportunities to speak English outside of class. How can I help?
Exposure and practice are the keys to learning a new language. Encourage your students to set aside some family time every day where only English is spoken, and to have more contact with other English speakers, perhaps by volunteering in the community in their childrens schools, or for community service agencies. Use your creativity to devise tasks, role-plays, or field trips that require more English practice.
