ESL Speaking Activity: Just a Minute
If you’re looking for some new ideas for the classroom, check out the video below where I talk about my favourite ESL speaking activity, Just a Minute. I loosely based it on a classic Toastmaster’s activity, Table Talk.
The idea is that you get a certain topic and have to just talk about it for a certain length of time without stopping. Instead of playing together with everyone in my big classes, I put the students into groups of four in order to make it way more student-centred. Anyway, check out the video for more details on how to use this activity in your own classes:
