Hello all, I want to run this past you for your consideration.

I've found it's a good mixer that even reluctant speakers enjoy, since it's all written out for them to say, they don't have to search for words.  They interview each other (there are two levels, one for beginners and one for a bit more advanced). Pictures for popular pass times are provided. They can exchange simple words in their languages, which they often get  kick out of.

After they finish the interview, they can give a report to the class about whom they spoke to and what they learned of another language.  It's fun and they get into it enthusiastically.  If the teacher speaks a language a particular unpaired student doesn't know, no one is left out.

Hope you find it useful. Page examples are from A Conversation Book 1:  English in Everyday Life, 3rd Edition, by Tina Kasloff Turner.
