14 Teaching Speaking (10) The main thing is that we let the students listen to the same sentence repeatedly, and that they have the chance to speak the same sentence repeatedly.

15 Teaching Speaking (11) Start your questions with wh- words. Always ask them to answer in a complete sentence, including yes-no questions. Through all these interactions between you and your students and also among your students, you’re actually helping them improve both their listening and their speaking abilities.

16 Teaching Speaking (12) Through those intensive interactions, your students will find no time goofing around in your class. Plus after a period of time, they’ll find they are improving not just speaking ability but listening ability as well.
