Default Re: Forcing young students into talking

To REVanessa---

The above situation I had posted about was just in a demo/trial lesson. Regular lessons with regular students....that's not a problem at all. I also teach chants and let the students memorize phrases. I generally teach the phrases with a '...' so the students can fill in the '...' themselves.

(IE: This is a...)

This gives a little bit of variety to what the students say and they can truly express themselves.
