Enhancing speaking through real life situations The IPB Language Centre trains students who go on an Erasmus + exchange through semester long courses in English during which all four skills are focused on. Since a mobility period is demanding for students in terms of speaking, several real life activities are introduced into the classroom to enhance their skills and boost their confidence. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how real life situations can be successfully introduced in language-related educational settings and to provide feedback on the students learning experience with regards to their speaking skills. This experience was carried out over the last three years thus allowing to overcome the gap between a standardized classroom speaking activity and to improve performance in real life situations.
