The class really interacts as every student can tell the same joke not only to one student but to several. So the students are active and really listen and speak in English. From time to time, some students come to my table to look for new jokes to tell to the rest of the class. If some students do not understand by listening to their mate, they can ask for the paper with the joke on it. In this way reading can help to understand the content.
Students can exchange papers with jokes.
The whole experience can be valued as highly positive and motivating for my students. Teaching by Principles. An Inteactive Approach to Language Pedagogy. In Viewpoints on English as a second Language. M. Burt , H. Dulay and M. Finocchiaro.
