Teaching English conversation requires a multi-pronged strategy to improve students' language communication skills. Here are some tips that can be used:

1. Give students the opportunity to practice: Students should be able to speak English regularly to develop their conversational abilities. You can organize group or pair conversation activities in class, where students talk in English about specific topics.

2. Encourage students to listen and participate: Students should feel confident to express their ideas and opinions in English. You can organize group discussions and ask questions that encourage students to participate and speak.

3. Provide appropriate presentations and resources: Using pictures, videos, and presentations can help motivate students and provide topics for conversation. You can use these resources to discuss different topics and encourage students to speak.

4. Provide models and role plays: You can provide models and role plays to help students improve their conversation skills. You can assign different roles to students and ask them to have a role-playing conversation about different scenarios.

5. Practice listening skills: Students should be encouraged to practice active listening skills to improve their conversational abilities. You can use audio recordings or videos to improve students' listening and comprehension abilities.

6. Provide constructive comments and feedback: You should provide constructive comments and feedback to students to help them improve their conversation skills. You can correct grammar and pronunciation errors and provide tips to improve performance.

7. Use of everyday terms and phrases: The use of everyday terms and phrases should be reinforced in teaching to help students learn how to communicate in ordinary life situations.

8. Encouraging reading and writing in English: Conversation skills can be enhanced by encouraging students to read and write in English. You can assign reading and writing assignments and encourage students to use the words and phrases they have learned in conversation.

These are some of the strategies that can be used to teach English conversation. You should also take the time to practice and repeat concepts to achieve continuous improvement in speaking skills.

When we use the words 'best ways to teach,' we are looking for a suitable and effective teaching method. Choosing a teaching method depends on the levels of learners and the target skill that you want to teach. TBLT and FoF can be good methods even if a teachers not experienced. It is better to choose the one in which you have some experience.

the use of a bilingualised dictionary in the classroom , permitting its use all the time, encourging learners having a personal one even at home, rather; try to find some minutes from time to time to familarize your classes with its use and make them know how to use it correctly, I mean efficiently!

Kokona Hinoke I fear your question / topic may be too broad. You might consider starting by thinking about what more specific topic you want to investigate.

For example, there is much debate about explicit versus implicit grammar instruction (Rod Ellis is one of the first names that comes to my mind talking about this debate; however, much work has been done since his initial research). After this, you will probably want to further refine your topic. For typologically different langauges, such as Japanese and English, there are a number of grammatical patterns that are more/less difficult depending on whether or not L1-L2 transfer is available and if so, does it tend toward negative or positive transfer.

You might also be interested in corrective feedback (which is a type of "instruction"). Usually studies on corrective feedback in EFL writing have to do with teaching grammar through such feedback. One of the first names that comes to mind for this is in the Japanese EFL context is Suzuki. Unfortunately, I do not know much about grammatical feedback in detail.

Perhaps start by thinking about what PART of grammar instruction is interesting to you (i.e., feedback / individualized instruction? teacher to class generalized instruction?) then think about what part of the PART is interesting to you (i.e., type of feedback? effectiveness of feedback? which grammatical construct? what kinds of techniques?)

Hello Kokona Hinoke , I appreciate your consideration to share your thoughts with me and I am so honored to help you. Given that educators and researchers have addressed this topic with studies for decade, yet every single teacher has their own unique experience of applying any approach. So I recommend that you reserve yours. Have your own teaching style and be proud of your signature work. This is my personal belief I loved to share with yo.

However, to answer your question I will share you a very enriching paper written by a bunch of valuable scholars and experts in this field. I believe it would help you so much. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for you👌🏽
