Default Re: conversation help for teenagers

A conversation is basically questions and answers. When I am working with students with very little English, I try to start with something more concrete like a page from a children's picture book. Have them make statements about what they are seeing in the picture. Then have them ask questions to someone else. Once they build more vocabulary...the conversations can begin to move from the concrete to the abstract.
