1. I use different speaking activities. I try to push my students to spoeak as much as possible. At the begiinning of every lesson, students have about 3-5 minutes to talk in pairs or small groups - topics are duifferent. I have done lot of a lot of questions and topics (everyday life, sportts and other interests...). Atudents try to discuss the questions, I go from one pair to another, help, listen, correct mistakes. Students are used to speak, they are worried about mistakes. Everybody has to participate.
Advice - do not worry about the noise, mistakes ...
2. Students make mistakes, no problem, I correct them immediately or after the task. Students write and correct the mistakes, they have a diary etc.

Sounds very good Magda! This is the kind of thing students often enjoy most, and if there is feedback or if they then have to write a summary of what they talked about, they will also learn a lot. Take a look at this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/200 ... kemeddings

Personally discovered this Astronaut multiplier game by accident and it totally hooked me, link https://crushtop.org . The idea is straightforward: the astronaut goes up while the coefficient climbs, and players have to stop before the crash. Bigger risk equals larger reward, which is why control feels key.

Initially I just played low, mostly to learn this flow, but in some rounds I noticed a rhythm. This adrenaline is intense each second, especially as that number continues climbing. The interface is minimalistic, nothing important distracts, and everything works perfectly.

I played on a smartphone and the game worked perfectly. Payments seemed instant, and that feels important personally. I personally didn’t notice anything suspicious at all. To sum it up, this Astronaut crash experience is engaging. If you enjoy high-risk -censured- games, this feels like definitely worth playing.

Just remember: bet with control.
