Hi there, I hope this material is useful for you I made creative presentations for different topics and levels feel free to adapt it to whatever level o type of students you have. 

STATIVE AND DYNAMIC VERBS.pptx

A fun conversational fluidity activity for intermediate students! I have found that it can work for students B2-C1 level, you could try with B1 if you adjust the time. Topics are engaging and relevant, especially for adult or teen students.


How it works:


Each slide has a podcast concept, and the student must talk about it as much as they can (TV series, sports, work, etc.) to practice fluidity. The student talks as much as he/she can about the topic, and you skip to the next slide when they either take too long of a pause or use a filler word (see game modes below.) Then, the student has to start talking about the new topic.


There are two game modes:


-You can skip to the next slide if the student takes too long of a pause (I wrote 5 minutes but you can adjust it depending on level.)


-You can skip if the student uses and agreed-upon filler or crutch word (for example, "like")


The resource ends with a reflection about the topics.



Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!



Podcast Shuffle Speaking Activity - Fluidity Practice B2, C1

Murder in the classroom is a murder mystery game. It can be done in two ways. First you can give out the roles to the students in the class room (so they play as that person) and have the student's go around interviewing each other in a role play way. Each student would need to copy down the Info graph provided.

Secondly you can just let them look at the information as a class and ask them to make up their own stories of what they think happened and see who gets the closest.
