Helllo!

Really I am so delightful to be among you and to share my experience and ideas 💡 in such fabulous forum. Lets start with the first one. I am trying to improve my students' speaking skill by letting them communicating with foreign students by using Zoom Programme.

I tried that one with Chinese students and my egyption students were so happy and tried to learn more expressions and vocabulary to communicate with them again.

So can any one of you help me to apply that idea again.

We will use Zoom Programme our students will communicate with each other for 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

The objectives of this idea are :
1-Improve their Speaking skill.
2-learn more about other students' cultures
3- know the importance of learning.

They are at the age of 8.
The whole classes see each other through Zoom, then I choose 5 students to make a mini conversation between him and your student for 5 minutes, and we try the same way every time after planning time and determining topics.

If you have any suggestions. You can write them to find the best way

Also, I have a video showing students while they were having conversations with each other.

It was limited to what's your name how old are you and other easy questions but It was so beneficial to them.

Thanks a lot for your help and correction. It was beneficial to me. What I want is to let my students speak with native students or any students from other countries on Zoom. So can any teacher put that idea into practice by letting his students speak with my students?

Note my corrections above.
It's possible that one of the teachers here has a class of students who might want to take part. (I teach only adults, all on a one-to-one basis, so I can't help you.)

I understood (mainly) what you meant by "determining topics" but I don't understand "we try the same way every time after planning time".

OK, that explains "planning time". I'm going to keep going, though! What do you mean by "we try the same way"?

The same way here is for making 5-minute Zoom calls for each group we choose from our classes.

I think, in that case, you should have said "We use the same approach each time we do it".
