CASLT Event 
Description
Imagine a classroom buzzing with conversation, where students eagerly express themselves in the target language. This isn’t just a dream — it’s achievable through simple, engaging activities that spark a passion for speaking. In this interactive, hands-on workshop, Kate will draw from her 16 years of experience teaching Core and Post-Intensive French to address common challenges in language classrooms. She will share her top ten oral activities, carefully curated to boost student engagement and language use. These low-prep, high-impact strategies are designed to transform hesitant speakers into confident communicators. Participants will discover practical techniques to encourage target language use; explore various engaging, easy-to-implement activities; and gain access to a comprehensive slide deck with instructions and resources. Kate’s valuable insights and ready-to-use tools will energize your lessons and help build students’ speaking confidence.
