Change Up Your Lessons - Location Location Location!

Take your university English students to Starbuck's or anywhere near that you can sit like a group and chat.  This improves their mood, it improves their ability, lowers their affective filter, makes them feel like talking more!! Hey, anything to change up your lessons and get those students speaking, writing, chatting, in ENGLISH!! 

Here's a shot of one of my classes enjoying an afternoon lesson on campus at Starbuck's.  Lots of discussion ensued... Just do it!!
