- Display quotes as posters on your classroom wall for motivation, inspiration, and regular exposure to the target language (TL).
- Use quotes as prompts for writing practice. Ask your students to write about “What does it mean to you?” “How can you apply it to your own life?”.
- Encourage your students to paraphrase or summarise the quotes into their own words.
- Use quotes as conversation starters for speaking practice (See sample questions in tip #2).
- Encourage your students to come up with their own quotes in the TL to be shared for discussion and peer correction.
- Make it a habit to embed quotes of authentic sayings, proverbs, and passages in your teaching material design and writing.
- Use quotes as authentic reading material to contextualise specific vocabulary and language items you are planning to teach.
- Use quotes to create a continuous immersive language experience in the classroom by frequently displaying a “Quote of the Week” or “Quote of the Day”.
