Using reported speech is an excellent way of personalising information and generating critical thinking. Both of these are essential in giving students the skills they need to triumph in the professional world they’re facing outside of the classroom. They must put themselves in the shoes of the person they’re speaking with, interpret what they are saying, repeat it back to them, and paraphrase it with grammar that is logical and sensical. More engagement, you’re never going to see in a simple scaffolding activity!!! Here are the steps to achieve this fantastic technique.
