‘A four skills activity for large classes (or small)’ by David Ockert

[ELTWeekly Volume 6, Issue 10 | March 31, 2014 | ISSN 0975-3036]

This activity works great with large groups because it requires the use of all four language skills in an exciting, interactive, and low-pressure competition (Norris, 1993). In addition, it works best in a classroom with movable tables and chairs. This type of activity also works well with activating the language skills that false-beginners have studied, but rarely have the opportunity to practice (see Helgesen, 1987; Norris, 1993).
