1- "I find that the students really like it when I tell them things about me, like my family or my last holiday, for example. They can ask me questions or ask me to repeat anything that they don't understand. I also draw pictures on the whiteboard and use gestures to help the students understand."
Well, this is one important activity I like to use in my classroom to help develop students' listening skills. They really like to learn new things this way. It is a great option to explain them different topics and to get information about their knowledge of the language. It is a way to have a friendly class.
