Y cómo los hago hablar? Y de qué? No se me ocurre ningún temaaaaa!!!
Se puede enseñar "speaking"?
Por experiencia puedo decir que un alumno adquiere fluency y vocabulario con tiempo pero siempre que el tema a hablar les sea interesante y tenga que ver con sus vidas o intereses.
No sirve de nada tirarle cualquier tema para que hable y hable y hable.
Y también es muy importante que la teacher se interese en lo que el alumno esté diciendo, por ejemplo, haciendo preguntas, sonriendo, haciendo eye contact, sobre todo...
Demás está decir que interrumpir para corregir no es una buena idea si lo que queremos es que nuestros alumnos se "suelten" a hablar.
Cuando los alumnos son de un nivel inicial, no esperemos que se sientan con mucha confianza para hablar. Una buena idea es hacerlos hablar en base a algún juego, en base a una lectura que hayan tenido, así pueden usar vocabulario y estructuras que ya vieron.

Friends
So no one told you life was going to be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, you're love life's DOA. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.
You're still in bed at ten, the work began at eight. You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great. Your mother warned you there'd be days like these, But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.
That, I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too.

Gilligan's Island
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip That started from this tropic port Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailing man, The skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough, The tiny ship was tossed, If not for the courage of the fearless crew The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost.
The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle With Gilligan The Skipper too, The millionaire and his wife, The movie star The professor and Mary Ann, Here on Gilligans Isle.
So this is the talel of the castways, They're here for a long, long time, They'll have to make the best of things, It's an uphill climb.
The first mate and the Skipper too, Will do their very best, To make the others comfortable, In the tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights no motor cars, Not a single luxury, Like Robinson Crusoe, As primative as can be.
So join us here each week my freinds, You're sure to get a smile, From seven stranded castways, Here on "Gilligan's Isle."
