Hello everyone Marisol Vasquez here from the language club today I would like to share with you some tips
That will be very useful if you're helping others
Practice or learn your language. So when you are participating in a language exchange, you will be playing two roles
sometimes you will be the guide or the teacher helping the others with your language and
Sometimes you'll be playing the role of the students and your language partners will be helping you with their language
So this tips are for you if you are in the teachers or the guide position
So the first thing I suggest is to always have a topic for the conversation
Because without the topic the conversation will go in all kinds of directions and the language exchange will not be very successful
because people will tend to talk about things they know and use vocabulary they know so when we use a topic
It forces people to get out of the comfort zone and that's the best way to learn new vocabulary
new expressions and to improve your language skills
You know when you are in a language exchange
Sometimes you will be sitting with one language partner or sometimes you will be sitting with the group
So in that case if you are helping a group of people to practice your language
I always suggest you sit at the end of the table in that way
They can see you and also you can you you will be able to see their facial
Expressions that will indicate if they understand what you're saying or not
You know your main role in the language exchange is
To initiate the conversation and to moderate the conversation. So you initiate the conversation by
Introducing the topic and you moderate the conversation by making sure everybody has the same amount of time to speak
So, you know in a group
Sometimes we have people that are more talkative and people that are more shy so it is your job to make sure
Everybody has the chance to interact
When you're working with beginners, I always make sure you speak very clearly and loud
It's kind of the same language at the same tone
You will be using when you're on the phone giving your address to somebody
So we are very careful when we do that to make sure we give this the good address
So use that kind of tone with your language partners when they're beginners
Also when you are working with groups that are a little bit more advanced or intermediate and
Make sure you always ask a lot of questions
Especially for the people that don't interact too much
you can always ask them my questions about what the others say and
Try to pick their brain and make them participate more in the conversation
Okay, now let's talk about how to handle mistakes
I highly suggest you don't interrupt a person in the middle of a sentence to correct her mistakes
So instead of that write down in a piece of paper
Anything you notice that is not right
And when the first the person is done speaking
Then you can go through the mistakes with her and you can also get the group involved in the correction of those mistakes
So as you can see your role as a teacher or a guide is the mostly to be a very good listener
To ask a lot of questions to keep the conversation going and to make sure
Everybody has the chance to interact during the conversation
All right, so those are my tips for you today, I hope they're useful for you and
Try to put them into practice in your next language exchange
