I TRY to use think alouds, but it is very difficult for me to use this technique.

On the listening lessons of every unit, I have students look at the pictures; take notes on them; use the notes to WRITE their own guess (anticipation/prediction); SHARE their guess with others; and (in the past) write their guess on the board and we correct the grammar as a class.

I also try to use turn and talk/turn and share.

When I enhance my activities, I always try to think how I can make an activity more communicative or how I can them to use the grammar in different ways. I especially like when the students debate about how we should use the grammar. I teach level one, but I always have them self-reflect. If I teach something, I ask how can we use this outside of class? Or ask your partner how we can use this. Something I also do is try to relate what we learn to their occupations.
