TYPE IN THE CHAT BOX…
DO YOU REMEMBER ANY
ORAL ACTIVITY YOU DID
WHEN LEARNING A
FOREIGN LANGUAGE?


Abel, we try to be good students , learn what you teach us,
and pass the tests.
But people
DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT WE SAY.
WHY DON’T WE FORGET ABOUT GRAMMAR RULES AND
SPEND MORE TIME PRACTISING SPEAKING AND
PRONUNCIATION?

THINGS WELL, BUT EMPATHY
AND PASSION COME ONLY
FROM PEOPLE

Words are made of breath, and breathing requires
that you be alive

CONFLICT
…HOW THEY WOULD IMPROVE YOUR SCHOOL

• Communication is the key.
• Create opportunities for
interaction.
• Teenagers want to be heard.
• Their voice is personal.

student’s voice.

published projects.

permission.
