• Assign tasks to your learners;• Hand out Post-it notes;• Have learners complete the task by writing what they
want to say on post-it notes;• Stress (!) the fact that they can write one sentence on
one note.
GOOD for adjacency pairs, back channeling devices etc.

visit Verona?
Marie Curie: How did she meet
her husband?
USING POST-IT NOTES IN SPEAKING

to ask the speaker.
GOOD for keeping students involved.

• Prepare questions on post-it notes, stick them to the walls around the classroom (hallway?);
• Have students walk around and discuss. Communicative focus?!
GOOD for stirring students.
EXTRA IDEA: have students come up with questions; stick questions upside down
RECORDING NEW LEXIS
RECORDING NEW LEXIS
• Write new lexis on post-it notes instead of copybooks;
• Working with page 12? Stick post-it notes there.
GOOD for keeping the vocabulary organized; visual.
EXTRA IDEA: color-coding for topics / parts of speech / functions
NOTING DOWN ANSWERS
NOTING DOWN ANSWERS
• Learners stick a post-it note next to (onto) an exercise;
• Note down their own and correct answers.
GOOD for going through the same exercise again.
EXTRA IDEA: personalization.

• Like quotes as much as I do? • One page – one quote.
GOOD for chunks – no need to explain ‘money makes the world go round’ to elementary learners.
EXTRA IDEA: color coding!
