Introduction
The basis of a good conversa on class is giving learners a reason
and an opportunity to speak
and scaffolding that speaking with lexis and gramma cal structure as it is needed. The most
frui ul conversa ons arise spontaneously and there is an art to listening well and asking the
right ques ons to in order to uncover the nuggets of universal
interest which provoke
s mula ng classroom discussion. However, some days we come up empty handed, maybe our
learners are red or reluctant to publicly speak up. Here it is also the teacher’s
role to give
learners a gentle push into areas which hopefully will create intellectual arousal and thus
opportuni es for the teacher to support this output with appropriate input.
