There is no doubt that being able to ask questions gives you control of a conversation and I therefore like to encourage and work with students to get them to speak up and take control of their English conversations.
The Smith’s School of English curriculm, and the training that is given to the coaches of communicative confidence to utilise it effectively, empowers us to deliver interesting and practical lessons time after time. I like to mix and match items to the student’s needs and to that end I have recently found that the “Use To” cards are also great as prompts to help students to develop questions for each other and/or myself and they also enable all of us to respond by asking additional questions using the same prompt cards.
Smith’s School of English gives both the students and teachers the confidence they need to be relaxed and enjoy each and every lesson.

I’ve found that too Ken. The flash cards are extremely adaptable and can be applied to so many different levels and lessons. The strategy that you have of getting students to make questions for each other is an essential part of communicative english. Rather than letting the student rely on the coach making questions I too like to get my students to create and lead conversations. This usually leads to more linguistic independence and the growth of many skill areas. The flash cards are an excellent vehicle for this goal.
