switching conversational partners in the English classroom has long been regarded as effective methods to trigger more learner-learner communicative interactions.

Hi,

I would suggest he design of simulations based on texts you usually deal with in class. that is, as an intructor, create a scenario and define roles so that learners can participate in a worry-free context in the target language.

See some of my works.

Hope it helps,

Laura
