Lip Syncs: Speaking…with a Twist
Buechel, Laura Loder
English Teaching Forum, v57 n4 p46-52 2019
The activity described in this article is a concept created by the author while watching a lip-syncing show. While doing this lip-sync activity in her English language class, she has found that they motivate learners to understand a listening text, support pronunciation practice, and--perhaps most importantly--allow learners to have fun while developing their speaking confidence and fluency. Lip-syncing activities, such as the one described in the article, can build class spirit, develop collaboration skills, and encourage language development.
