Spontaneous speaking can be challenging for learners, yet it is essential for real communication. This session explores practical strategies to support spontaneous and fluent speaking, first through creating the right classroom environment, and then through the use of simple classroom routines and powerful visual prompts. The workshop will demonstrate adaptable activities, helping teachers move students from controlled practice to confident, creative expression. By the end, teachers will have a toolkit of ideas for fostering fluency and engagement in every lesson.
