  21. Our “practical wisdom” for promoting oral interaction • Working out the flow of the dialogue (re-organizing the contents, using flow diagrams to show the logical sequence & identifying the main ideas) • Providing sufficient language input: Vocabulary and sentence patterns (revisiting previous knowledge & integrating different forms and functions) • Providing sufficient oral practice: Controlled -> semi-controlled -> free • Designing authentic speaking tasks for free practice • Providing immediate feedback through live demonstration • Providing support materials: Realia, word cards, picture cards and cue cards
