Best answer
I love debates. Role play but not when it’s reading lines but you give the students a prompt e.g you walk into a shop, and you buy something. What would you and the shopkeeper say. This is maybe for more advanced students as they have more vocab and better grammar. For beginners, role play reading the lines is better.
