Teacher Discussion Forums

Hey guyz.. I am writing a report for my school. The topic is "How to motivate the children to speak more english outside the classroom and even inside the class too. I just need to hear some other peoples thoughts on this topic? Anyone?
Thanx Brando

I don't know what kind of institution you work in, but in my place of work we teach EFL, but also German, French, Italian and Spanish. We then encourage students to look for exchanges e.g. an English student meets up with a Spanish student and they practise their conversation, half an hour of English, half an hour of Spanish.
