12th Grade Oral Communication Activities (by price, high to low)

Are your students hesitant to speak in Spanish in class? Are conversations and interpersonal speaking challenging for them? Are you worried about how to prepare them for tests like the Seal of Biliteracy and AP Spanish Exams? Do you teach multiple levels of Spanish? Then this bundle is for you!

This bundle contains 16 activities and 8 of the most common themes taught in every curriculum!

• Childhood
• Daily Routines
• Clothing and Shopping
• Food and Restaurants
• Travel and Vacations
• Accidents and Injuries
• The Future
• The Environment

There are 8 Guided Conversation activities. Guided Conversations provide a general outline for students to use. It helps them keep the conversation going with a partner so they can continue to create with language! They are differentiated between Novice High and Intermediate versions. The Novice versions have helpful vocabulary on their guides. And they can be used and re-used over and over! Switch partners, switch roles, use them at different points in the unit... and use them as review for more advanced students! Teacher notes make these a breeze to use!

There are 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking activities. The themes are the same 8 themes as the Guided Conversations. These ILS activities contain audio links. Students listen and then record their response. These activities are very much like the AAPPL and STAMP tests and are a great pre-cursor for the Simulated Conversation on the AP Spanish test. The audio links are already recorded for you, but the teacher script is also included in case you want to record your own voice, or show students what they heard when going over their responses. Each theme has 2 activities. There are 5 audio prompts in each (so a total of 10 per theme.) The 2nd activity is meant to be a bit more challenging. You can use that to differentiate for students, or use the 2nd activity later in the unit!

Who Can Use This Resource:

• Students in Year 2 and up (Novice High and Intermediate)

How Do I Use This Resource?

• The included teacher notes will provide all of these suggestions
• Students will work in partners with guided conversations
• Students can switch roles and also switch partners with the guided conversations to make them reusable countless times!
• Students work alone with the ILS activities
• They listen and respond, and record their responses
• These activities can be used for practice or for assessment
• They are all ready to print or post- no teacher prep!

What's Included?

• Teacher Notes for Both Kinds of Activities to explain exactly how to use them
• 8 Guided Conversation Themes (Each theme has 4 conversations included, so there are a total of 32 conversations)
• 8 Integrated Listening and Speaking Activities (ILS) (Each theme has 2 activities with 10 prompts: so 16 activities and 160 prompts)

Not sure how to start making proficiency a focus in your Spanish classes? Start here with this bundle of Spanish Accidents and Injuries Proficiency-Building Activities! Speaking, Writing and Listening are scaffolded and pre-differentiated with activities that stay with a familiar theme, Accidents and Injuries  The scaffolds and familiar theme help students find the courage they need to fully participate and truly build skills! Interpersonal Listening, Speaking and Presentational Writing Activities are all included!

Guided Conversations: 

Guided Convos provide a scenario about a familiar topic and an outline for students to use to keep the conversation going.   Students work with a partner and choose the role of Person A or Person B. They can trade roles, trade partners, or even do the same exact conversation again!  They never turn out the same way!  Students report feeling much more confident and able to keep conversations going after practicing a few times! 

These conversations have 2 different versions for Novice High students and 2 different versions for Intermediate Low students. 

Integrated Listening & Speaking: 

ILS activities are done alone.  Students will listen to a recording, and be given instructions for how to respond.  They might hear: “Tell me about….” Or “Ask me questions about…” .  These activities mimic the speaking/listening portion of many popular Seal of Biliteracy Tests.  

There is a pre-made student activity that requires no language lab!  If you have a language lab or some other kind of recording software, the teacher script will allow you to record the audio for students if you desire.

There are 2 activities in this resource, each with 5 prompts.  They are designed so that the first activity is a bit easier and the 2nd one  a bit more challenging.  Use with different levels or at the beginning and end of a unit! 

✍️Scenario Task Cards:

Scenario Task Cards are my go-to for lots of things!  I display one at the beginning of every class and ask students to take turns talking about the scenario.   But I also use them as a lesson plan for a class activity!  I have students change partners and have them tell a story about 5 times in a row, each time with a new scenario and a new partner.  Then students switch roles.  Listeners become the speakers.  Finally, sometimes I print the scenarios and ask students to write about them in class or for homework!
