=Record yourself....= Require students to use their phones, iPods, etc. to record themselves having authentic conversations that they will hand it/send to you. Here is a sample list of what you could ask students to record: 1. You introducing yourself to someone. 2. You talking about your family with someone. 3. You discussing foods and/or the foods you are eating with someone. 4. You ordering in a restaurant. 5. You discussing your hobbies with someone. 6. You learning about a famous site that you are visiting, and asking questions in the target language to your guide/friend, etc. 7. You discussing what train to take with someone (or asking someone for help). 8. You discussing a more difficult topic, such as politics, the environment, or a piece of art with someone.
