The goal of language classes is to create opportunities for learners to engage in conversations and to interact with other human beings. Most of the time, teachers use many different methods such as: think-pair-share, appointment clocks, groups of four and so on to get students engaged in conversations, but still they usually don’t get the results they are after.

In this article, Jennifer Gonzales talks with Jeff Frieden, a high school English teacher in southern California, who came up with a new system for getting every student in the room to talk with other students. His strategy is called Ongoing Conversation in which students learn to track their own conversations.
