Rather than focusing on one or two language skills (modes: listening, speaking, reading, writing), some exercises can get students using all four language skills (modes). See Whole Language Approach.

One pattern for this is,

1. one student reads something and speaks it
2. another student listens and writes it down

Fairly often they will have to spell out difficult words. This is also good practice, unless you misjudge the level and they end up spelling more-or-less everything.

Quite a few exrcises on this basic pattern are possible. Some examples:

• Run and write
• Alternate sentence practice

Resources

• Downloadable books at http://gutenberg.org are a fine source of texts to work with.
