Answer:
Silence: a teacher’s greatest enemy. And although you’d imagine that a silent classroom must be the sweetest sound in the world to teachers, without 30 or so children screaming ‘miss’ into your ear (an image we can all relate to), silence is actually the last thing you want in an ESL classroom.
Getting the conversation flowing and learners interacting is important so that children can develop their speaking and listening skills. It also makes children feel more at ease in the classroom, and more comfortable engaging in the lesson. It helps to create a positive learning environment where everyone feels they can contribute.

We’ve gathered together some great topic ideas that you can use to start up some conversations in your class. These are great for breaking through silences and helping your learners to develop their conversational vocabulary and speaking skills.
