| Title | Get Reluctant Students Speaking |
| Body | Editor's note: A recent request on the TESL listserv for suggestions to get hesitant EFL students speaking received the following response. ---- Has anyone suggested Reader's Theatre to you? I think it is a good way to get reluctant speakers started as it allows them the comfort of a text and the ability to remain seated and yet requires them to convey emotion and engage in drama. Once the ice is broken, you may be able to get the students to improvise more and more as they become more at ease speaking in front of others. You might try a script from a site like http://teachingheart.net/readerstheater.htm or get them using lyrics of popular songs. You can find lyrics at sites like http://www.nerdworld.com/nw228.html or http://www.lyricsconnection.com Mathews, C. Re: English conversation in Japan.
