Activity 3
Successful Oral Fluency Practice Imagine or recall a successful speaking activity in the
classroom that you have either organized or participated in as student. What are the
characteristics of this activity that make you judge it as successful?
We were assigned to report a certain topic in front of the class but instead of
following the typical reporting format, we put a twist on it and made our classical
presentation into a talk show so our audience will be able to understand the
lessons while also having fun. I think that the activity was successful because the
students were able to do the activity by groups, this way, they get much more
speaking practice. The students were also willing to participate in the discussion.
