Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of speaking activities are on this page?
There are three main formats. Picture description tasks give you a photo and nine guiding questions with ready-made phrases for each one. Dialogue sets take an everyday conversation through three steps: fill in the missing words, rebuild the dialogue from memory, then act it out. Discussion sets give open questions on one topic for pair and group work.
What level are the speaking tasks?
The section covers CEFR A1 to C1, and each task page states its level. A1 and A2 tasks use short prompts, pictures and model sentences. B1 and B2 tasks include picture description and discussion questions. C1 tasks are open-ended and expect longer, more argued answers.
Can students practise speaking on their own?
Yes. Every picture task lists the questions together with useful phrases, so a learner can answer aloud and compare with the suggested wording. Dialogues can be practised alone by reading both roles, and discussion questions work well for recording yourself and listening back.
Can I use these speaking activities in an online lesson?
Yes. Every task opens in a browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or interactive whiteboard, so you can share your screen in Zoom, Google Meet or Teams. Dialogue and discussion tasks also work in breakout rooms, where students take one role each.
Do I need an account to use the speaking tasks?
No. All speaking activities are free and open without registration or email. Nothing has to be installed: you open the page, choose a task and start speaking.
