Draw analogies with the material studied in other lessons in the mother tongue. Remember that the student – the main character in all aspects of the lesson The lesson must contain game time. Use variety of tasks.

Give the opportunity for each student to speak, not limiting his speech over time. Take into account the interests of each student. Create a friendly atmosphere in the class. Encourage the student even for the smallest success, development of self-confidence, independence from other peoples opinions.

The lesson should be student-oriented, which means that the lesson should be organized around the very student, his life, his interests. The teacher should touch only positive or neutral issues for the student.

Problem situations are the basis of discussion tasks, stimulate students mental activity, contribute to motivation emergence and needs for speech, forming hypotheses, assumptions.

The discussion motivates the students activity, allowing each student to express themselves in the lesson and join the oral foreign-speaking culture.

Methods increase the level of motivation to learn a foreign language.

Role-play games … role-play game motivates speech activity, as students find themselves in a situation where demand is necessary to say something, to ask, to find out, to prove, to share with an interlocutor. Unlike dialogue or games that teach how to say, role-play answers the questions why (motive), and what for (purpose) are needed to say something.
