How Can The Teacher Use It In Class?

An interesting activity that you could try with the learners is story -sharing. Learners could talk about their most unforgettable moment in their life share them with their peers via e-mail or through other mediums. They could do the recording in the comfort of their home or even in the classroom. However, you should tell you own unforgettable moment in order to get interested and motivated in doing the activity. Later in the course, the teacher can provide some feedback regarding the pronunciation or any speaking aspect that is being focused on. It is also useful for picking up some grammatical mistakes in their utterances as it is recorded and can be played over and over again for an analysis. This allows the error to be corrected before it became fossilised.
