Today, we're delving into one of my favorite activities that not only enables me to use a wealth of target language in context but also cultivates connections with my students – the incredible Star Student Interviews!

In this episode, I'll be sharing what exactly this activity entails, how to smoothly introduce it to your class, the types of questions to pose, strategies to keep your students engaged, and what steps to take afterward.

But that's not all. I'll also be addressing specific burning questions about this activity, such as how to handle students who are hesitant to participate, methods to keep the activity fresh and engaging, and whether or not to allow the use of the students' first language (L1).
