What i use in my classes!

The activities that i have used are the jigsaw and the interviews.
I mainly use the jigsaw with young learners and children. They really like it and they see it like something challenging. They are really involved and very active. They like putting things together. I arrange them in different groups and the ones that finish first are the winning group. All of them want to win so in this way they really work in this class.

I mainly use interviews with adult learners. In one class i divided them in groups. In each group i assigned the employer and 3 others were having an interview for a job. The employer was asking questions to the job applicants and according to their answers he chose one for the job. The employer had to give reasons about his choice. Why did he choose that applicant? Was he suitable for that particular job?
My students really liked that. They enjoyed the idea of the job interview since all of them had had one or they were looking for a job at that moment. They asked me to have more interviews because it helped them to speak better English and they learned new vocabulary and new expressions.
