7 Priceless Foreign Language Speaking Activities for Your Class 
1. Sell Me Something 
This activity involves a student trying to persuade the class into buying 
something. They’ll note all the benefits and advantages of the said product and 
deliver a sales pitch using the target language. 
FluentU
 takes authentic videos—like 
music videos, movie trailers, news and 
inspiring 
talks—and 
turns 
them 
into 
personalized language lessons. 
The students should also be dressed for the 
part, so if a student is selling some oranges in a 
market setting, he should dress accordingly in 
order to be more in character. If a student is 
selling a solid gold airplane, then she should 
also dress the part. 
The Activity:
Each student is given two minutes to 
pitch the product to the whole class. They’ll 
relate to the class the distinct features of 
the product as well as its primary advantages 
and benefits. This is great for teaching students 
to be descriptive, confident and persuasive.

This 
activity 
is 
a 
good 
vocabulary-building exercise that’s 
specifically geared to make the 
adjectives of the target language 
particularly memorable. Because a 
student has to describe the product’s 
physical features, they’ll have to dig 
into the trove of adjectives available. 
Because 
there’s 
a 
visual 
reference and strong context for the 
vocabulary, it becomes memory-
friendly not only for the student 
delivering the pitch but also for the 
classmates looking on and listening in. 
So, for example, the word “ripe” 
becomes much more alive for the students when they see those plump red tomatoes 
held by one of their classmates. 
The activity also lends itself to quick lessons in numbers and units of measurements, 
because when selling something, prices as well as quantity will often be discussed.
