Speaking Lessons and Resources

Probable situation:When you get to your region, your teachers will often ask you to give a specific type of lesson. For example:

We are doing a unit on hobbies. In my class we will read the text on page 122.

Okay, I can do a listening or a speaking activity

Can you do a listening activity about hobbies in your country on Monday. Tuesday, can you do a speaking activity with this?

No problem, maybe I can have students ask each other about their favorite hobbies

A resource is a tool for teachers and a key element for students
