INTRODUCTION
Teaching skills refer to the abilities and competencies that educators use to
facilitate learning and understanding in students. These skills encompass a wide
range of capabilities, including communication, planning, organization,
assessment, and adaptability.

1. Lecture: Lecturing involves the teacher presenting information to
students in a structured manner. It can be used to introduce new concepts,
provide context, and explain complex ideas. Lectures can be
complemented with visual aids, such as slides or multimedia
presentations, to enhance understanding.
2. Discussion: Discussion activities involve students actively engaging with
course material and each other. This can include group discussions,
debates, and case studies. Discussions can help students deepen their
understanding, develop critical thinking skills, and learn from their peers.
3. Hands-on Activities: Hands-on activities, such as experiments,
simulations, or role-playing exercises, allow students to apply theoretical
concepts in a practical context. These activities can make learning more
engaging and help students retain information better.
4. Collaborative Learning: Collaborative learning activities involve
students working together in groups to achieve a common goal. This can
include group projects, problem-solving tasks, and peer teaching.
Collaborative learning promotes teamwork, communication skills, and a
deeper understanding of course material.
5. Active Learning: Active learning activities require students to actively
participate in the learning process, rather than passively receiving
information. This can include interactive exercises, games, and quizzes.
Active learning encourages student engagement and helps reinforce key
concepts.
6. Assessment: Assessment activities, such as quizzes, tests, and essays, are
used to evaluate student understanding and progress. Assessments can be
formative, providing feedback to students to improve their learning, or
summative, evaluating student performance at the end of a course or unit.

These activities can be used individually or in combination to create a
dynamic and effective learning environment that caters to the diverse needs
and learning styles of students.

6. Interviews: Conduct mock interviews where students take on the roles of
interviewer and interviewee. This helps them practice asking and
answering questions in a structured setting.
7. Word Chain: Start with a word, and students take turns adding a word
that is related to the previous one. This helps improve vocabulary and
encourages spontaneous speaking.
8. Story Completion: Give students the beginning of a story and ask them
to complete it. This encourages creativity and narrative skills.
9. Tongue Twisters: Practice tongue twisters to improve pronunciation and
fluency.
10.Show and Tell: Ask students to bring an object from home and talk about
it in front of the class. This helps build confidence and improves speaking
skills.
These activities can be adapted and modified based on the specific needs and
interests of the students, as well as the language proficiency level of the
class.

styles and abilities. These activities not only help students develop practical
speaking skills but also promote creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork.
