Description

English conversation in an academic setting more closely resembles an interview or an interrogation rather than a relaxed and free-flowing exchange of information, ideas, and opinions. The purpose of Table Talk! Is to teach you how to create an enjoyable space for students to talk with each other about the big and not-so-big questions of life.

Table Talk is conversation-based learning. This course is designed to help teachers create an atmosphere conducive to conversation by making the language spoken in class both comprehensible and engaging while building student confidence in answering questions. This will allow students to practice speaking English without the fear of being “on stage”. 

This course will show you how to help students spend time formulating their conversations, self-reflect and self-assess, have realistic conversations with peers of differing skill levels, and in the end, feel confident in their abilities. This will encourage participation by making sure everyone get a turn to use their ability in a way they are comfortable to. 

The motto of this course is, "When something can be learned without effort, great effort has gone into its teaching."

This course has done the hard work for you. Enjoy.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to improve their conversational English skills.
  • Anyone who wants to increase their conversational fluency.
  • Anyone who wants to teach a conversation class.
  • Teachers who are struggle to provide students with good speaking activities.
