Speaking Workshop Part 2:

• Speak Dating:
• this is basically 'speed dating' but with a different objective: instead of trying to find the loves of their lives, students strove to speak really good English as they told their 'dates' all about themselves, where they're from, what they do, what they like and dislike, things they're willing to compromisse on, dealbreakers, etc. 
• The Tate Museum comes to FLUL:
• room 1.1 was transformed into the Tate Gallery (well, with me as curator, obviously) and students were required to walk in pairs and talk about the art.  They were instructed to do exactly what they would do in a real gallery, i.e. spend as much or as little time as they please looking at any given painting - they could spend the entire 10 minutes looking at one painting, for all I cared - but they must keep talking about the painting in English.
• Oral Exam rehearsal:
• students did a rehearsal of their oral presentation in pairs or threes; students gave each other feedback on the presentations and asked relevant questions.
