1. There are many games which teachers can use to make practice activities more interesting and motivating for students. Do you have any favourite games which you use to practise specific language items?
My favourite games are guessing games. The general procedure is to ask the Ss to produce some language (either spoken or written) and have them guess about the other Ss’ texts (for example, having them go around the class, ask questions and match text and author).
2. How do you try to make controlled practice activities more communicative and motivating for your learners?
I try to personalise the activity and make them more relevant to the students. I also try to make the task into something more active, by asking the Ss to produce language using the activity as a model, and maybe expanding the activity by involving some kind of interaction.
