The second technique that I found effective and beneficial while conducting speaking activities and speaking lessons. This technique is better for adult learners who want to speak the language fluently. First of all, there are some websites like flickr and twitter that we can get authentic pictures to show our students. The teacher chooses some pictures cuts them and prepares a power point presentation. Then, the teacher shows the pictures to the students and waits for 10 seconds for each picture. While showing the pictures, the students take notes about the pictures, but they are allowed to write what the pictures evoke in them in just two words. After writing part is done, teacher wants students to work in pairs and discuss the feeling that they get from the picture. Later on, teacher shows the pictures again but for a longer period and after that forms groups and again makes the students talk. Lastly, teacher asks for volunteers to talk about their idea and then shows the bigger pictures and elicits the answers.

Firstly, I like the technique because learning from daily life especially using the most famous web sites is very helpful to teach English. Moreover taking notes about the pictures makes students vesatile because at the same time they both write about the pictures and think about them. other than this, discussion activity increase interaction among students and encourage them to speak. As a summary, this technique is mostly based on speaking and the activities are choosen correctly so I think that it absolutely reaches its aim.
