Are you a language teacher who can't get your students consistently using the second language in class?

This simple but incredibly effective method, based on behavioural management theory, is a game-changer for classes that are capable of, but not engaging well with, spoken language production.

My thanks and love to my husband Jose Stein Guerrero, at Ayuda Portafolio Docente, for his help with crafting this strategy. Thanks to his Masters in behavioural management studies, we were able to come at the issue from a different angle, and produce a system that is prosocial, up-to-date, and highly effective.

Well in my class it's mendatory to speak English when they have oral activities and pair discussions or ask me questions etc but what bugs me the most is when they speak their first language when they're working. So i always ask them to keep speaking in English together and without me reminding them they end up forgetting.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing with us with these incredible tips. I have a question. Is it a good idea to first use the "reward technique" with teenage studnets who are beginning to learn English and gradually start using the "system of the 10-minutes monitoring"?

Is this techinque useful for very little kids of 3 to 4 years or not? Also suggest that teacher should assign a topic for it or not? It will be effective If used for less than 10minutes or not?

In this 10minutes time should we give topic for them.to.speak?

I like the reward punishment systems better, besides, how can you rely on monitors? What if they don't leave the blanks just to help their classmates

Hello Vicki! Great strategy. What about online classes? It's hard for me to get my students speaking in English. Is there a tip for this?

Wow, that's so Great! Does it work with second Language learning students who get zero fluency and accuracy?
