Engaging in structured speaking conversations provides students with opportunities to collaborate and delve into deeper comprehension and critical thinking. By exchanging ideas, students practice using complex sentence structures and advanced vocabulary in real time. These conversations serve as a bridge to writing, enabling them to develop more elaborate and well-organized ideas that translate into insightful, well-supported analyses in their written work. This integrated approach strengthens both their oral and written communication skills, preparing them for academic and real-world success.
