Provide them with some tongue twisters
Example: Betty bought butter but the butter was bitter, so Betty bought better butter to make the bitter butter better.
Have students practice saying them slowly at first and then faster. It will enhance fluency and articulation.

Divide the class into teams (team 1 and team 2)
Give them a topic.
Example: Public and Private Transportation.
Team 1 is going to talk about the advantages of using public transportation.
Team 2 is going to talk about the advantages of using private transportation.
The idea is that each team at the end expresses the disadvantages of the opposing team's topic so that they can debate between both topics.
