This British Council webinar for teachers focuses on improving students’ English speaking skills. Presenters Stephen and Rabia discuss defining speaking as communication, overcoming the fear of speaking (reducing the affective filter), and incorporating fluency and accuracy practices. They emphasize using authentic materials, relevant topics, pair work, and delayed correction. Various activities like board games, dice rolls, and chain drills are suggested to make learning fun and build confidence. The importance of modeling, scaffolding, and creating a supportive classroom environment is highlighted.
