Tips to improve speaking skills

1. Think out loud!
''That is a difficult question, let me think about that...' Let your partner know what you are doing to avoid an awkward silence!

2. Don't know a word? Don't worry! Explain it in English.
''You put your trash in it.''

3. Repeat sentences! No awkward silence and it gives you time to think about an answer. ''Oh, you are asking me about what I do for a living?''

4. Avoid saying ''uhm'' use one of these tips instead!

First assignment

One of you will be a caregiver that has to give advice, act it out in front of the class.

Student 1: You are a parent called into the daycare centre because your child can not play well with the other children. They only want to play around on a tablet and not do group activities. 

Student 2: You are a teenager in a youth center who feels isolated and finds it difficult to make friends. You approach the pedagogical worker for help navigating social situations and building confidence.

Student 3: You are a student that experiences bullying at school and you feel very unsafe. 
You do not know what to do about it, and teachers don't seem to help you out.

Student 4: You are a parent that noticed their sons behavior changing and you suspect he may be experimenting with substances. You ask the pedagogical worker for advice on how to approach the situation.

Care giver: Gives advice and a solution to the problem.

Assignment two

In pairs, make up a scenario in which there is a problem and there has to be a solution to the problem.
One is a client, one is the care giver. 
Who is the care giver? 

Questions you can ask your client!
Or
Questions you can ask your care giver!

Scenario

Think of a scenario, a problem and a solution.
Who is the client? Who is the care giver?
Then we switch.
So you make up 2 scenarios in total.

Act it out!
