Workshop Description
Connecting students with the community through volunteer work with native speakers is one of the strategies that encourage students to adopt L2 in their everyday communication. This strategy helps improving students’ conversation skills, increasing vocabulary, learning idioms, and exploring the target culture, as well as increasing students’ engagement and motivation. This workshop will discuss strategies and provide examples that can be used to reinforce students’ speaking skills. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss in groups and provide feedback as well as share ideas.
