You ask a question in class… and get one-word answers. Or worse, blank stares. You want students to engage in real conversations, but getting them to speak spontaneously can feel like pulling teeth.
Why is this so challenging? Interpersonal speaking isn’t just about practicing vocabulary or rehearsing dialogues. It requires confidence, risk-taking, and meaningful opportunities to interact in real time, something that many classroom tasks don’t naturally support.
This 30-minute PD course, for the small price of $10, gives you the tools to increase spontaneous, confident interpersonal speaking at any proficiency level. You’ll learn how to:
- Design interpersonal speaking tasks that align with ACTFL Can-Do Statements
- Scaffold real-time conversation with supports that reduce fear and build proficiency
- Create classroom conditions that invite authentic, purposeful interaction
- Use a repeatable planning framework to manage, reflect on, and improve speaking tasks
This is a practical, no-fluff course led by me, Joshua Cabral, host of the World Language Classroom Podcast. I’ll give strategies that work, whether your students are just starting out or working toward building more confidence and honing their interpersonal speaking skills.
By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to plan and facilitate interpersonal speaking tasks that are engaging, level-appropriate, and rooted in real communication. Your students will begin to speak more confidently because they’ll have the structure and support to do so.
