Then they read the article and on the next class they talk to the others about what they've read and learned. They feel proud of themselves and motivated.

In an attempt to get my present class to speak English, I devised a little "game".
Wealthy Socialite Blanche Dubois found murdered in her Park Lane apartment. Ex-lover arrested and charged with murder. Brought to court for trial.
This requires a class of at least a dozen participants.
1.Accused 2. Detective (evidence) 3. Prosecution 4. Defence 5. Judge 6. Remaining students as Jury.
Who plays which part is determined by lots.
Turn them loose to ask lots of questions and find the accused guilty or not guilty. Quite a stimulating exercise and can get quite heated. Lots of vocab "alibi" etc.
Try it.
