Higher-Order Speaking Prompts in the Target Language!
Is it difficult to get your students to talk in the target language? Between the images and the prompts, they can easily find something to inspire them to speak. Every topic is controversial or something that everyone has an opinion about, from saving the environment to how social media affects friendships, etc. complements Advanced Placement classes.
"I used these in my classroom. I had the students either research the topic and later report or use the cards for impromptu speeches. I would have them prepare a minute-long speech for French 1, a two-minute-long speech for level 2, etc. The topics are so deep that they can be reused year after year. These worked best for my Level 4 and AP students."—Audrey Irias, MA, teacher of 11 years
