Speaking Topics
Posted on November 3rd, 2009 by Debra
Here’s an activity that I use in speaking or conversation classes. I thought they might be helpful in generating some ideas.
Here are some practical uses for this list:
- Have students prepare a mini-speech for one minute and try to speak non-stop for 2 minutes. Gradually throughout the term, increase the time to 3 minutes.
- Do a speed writing (10 minutes) on any of the following topics. Trade papers and peer-edit.
- Plan a long-term project around any of the topics. For example, someone with the topic restaurants needs to go to different restaurants, do some research, and present their findings.
Here are some to get you started. Click here for a full list.
- Dating
- Restaurants
- Meetings
- Different work environments
- Exercise
- Movies
- Crime
- Rites of passage
