 Dialogue speech must be situational
 Students need speech patterns, phrases to start, to join, to
end a conversation, to express their interests, opinions, etc
 Supply your students with verbal and visual aids
 Be present as a resource, not a monitor
 Language is a tool, not an end in itself.
