Language

What do you need to speak a language well? grammar | vocabulary | pronunciation reading | listening | speaking | writing motivation | fluency | confidence intercultural awareness | positive mindset learner autonomy | study skills

Reversals Rewrite the story so that it conveys the opposite message Make the characters more ‘real’ e.g. bad mood, unsuccessful

Other ideas Change the order of the unit(s) so you do the hardest things first. Each group is responsible for a section of the unit, then they present it to the class Use colour codes (e.g. yellow for most interesting/important things; red for difficult areas, etc)

Reading between the lines Write three questions the text does not answer?
