ELT365 · Day 185 — Freer Practice

Idea — Freer practice removes the scaffold — learners choose their own language to express a communicative aim. Mistakes are expected and informative.

Example — ‘Talk to your partner for two minutes about your ideal job’ is freer practice — no script, no restricted form.

Try — Design a freer practice task for a grammar point you have recently taught. Ensure the task creates a genuine need to use that language.
