Quotations in the Language Classroom
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Use quotes as prompts for writing practice. Ask your students to write about "What does it mean to you?" "How can you apply it to your own life?". Encourage your students to paraphrase or summarise the quotes into their own words. Use quotes as conversation starters for speaking practice (See sample questions in tip #2). Encourage your students to come up with their own quotes in
the
TL
to
be
shared
for
discussion
and
peer
correction. Make it a habit to embed quotes of authentic sayings, proverbs, and passages in your teaching material design and writing. Display quotes as posters on your classroom wall for motivation,
inspiration,
and
regular
exposure
to
the
target language (TL). Use quotes as authentic reading material to contextualise specific vocabulary and language items you are planning to teach. Use
quotes
to
create
a
continuous
immersive
language
experience in the classroom by frequently displaying a "Quote of the Week" or "Quote of the Day”.
