So, this tool doesn't exactly have students produce any language but I LOVE the idea! There is a tool where you can create a fake iMessage and display a conversation as the students would see on their phones. I thought this was a great way for students to receive language input as they are used to getting information in this format all day long! The teacher could then extend the activity with some sort of language output assignment. For example:
- continue the conversation with your table partner (written or spoken)
OR
-discuss the text on the board. What is it saying? Who are they? What is the context?
