Default Re: Oral ESL for Adults--Help!

They do not understand the concept of playing English learning games (20 questions was a total flop).

You failed to explain the purpose of the game. I have never had that game flop even with kids in Elementary School. MAKE it fun because it is (ex. put them in teams) and explain it in a fun way. Plans don't flop...teachers do.

A "Conversation" is a series of questions and answers basically....otherwise it's a speech.

Try harder...do better!!
Results > Everything else!!!


But I don't see how this helps them other than giving them confidence in public speaking in English.

Wu wu wu...what??
Unless they are studying for an exam...you are giving them EXACTLY what they need!!!
