Suitable Techniques
1.

Encourage your students to learn each other's names. Students are more likely to participate in class if they feel they are among friends rather than strangers; so at the beginning of the term, ask students to introduce themselves and describe their primary interests or background in the subject. These introductions may also give you some clues about the discussion that you want to give and it will be interesting for your student.

2.

Arrange the seating to promote discussion. Ask students to sit in a semicircle position, so that they can see one another and it can make your student more interesting to talk with their friends.

Research shows that students tend to talk to the person who is sitting opposite them. So, we can encourage the student to speak by arranging the student chairs.

3.

Allowing your class time to warm up before you start the discussion. The teacher can arriving in the class two or three minutes early and make an informal discussion with the student. It will make the student feel comfortable to talk with you. Start the class with a few minutes of conversation about greeting includes the materials that you want to teach, their condition or their activities.

4.

Limiting your own comments.

According the research, most of the time, discussion is dominated by the teacher. To avoid this condition, the teacher can divide the allocation time when the turn of student and when the turn of teacher to speak in the class. So, the student will get the chance to share or speak what they want to say.
