Abstract: It is always a problem getting students to talk informally in English: however interesting the topic we suggest, they often prefer to keep silent, or to express themselves their mother tongue. This talk suggests a few guidelines that will go some way towards solving these problems, illustrated by some practical activities intended for students at various levels of proficiency.
