one more question about student groupings!:) Need some quick activity on how to put students in groups but it has to activate their listening skills!IMPORTANT-LISTENING! And need another activity on how to put students in groups but his time this activity needs to activate their speaking skills!IMPORTANT-SPEAKING!So how to put students in groups while having these two mentioned skills activated?

To put students in groups while activating their listening skills, you can try the following activity:

Activity for listening skills activation:
1. Prepare a set of picture cards or objects related to a specific theme or topic relevant to your class.
2. Explain the rules of the activity: Each student will be given a card or object, and their task is to find the other students in their group who have cards or objects that relate to the same theme or topic.
3. Distribute the cards or objects randomly among the students.
4. Instruct the students to move around the room, interacting with their classmates to listen and find their group members.
5. To ensure active listening, give specific instructions such as "Find someone with a card that shows a book," or "Find someone with an object related to sports."
6. Encourage students to actively listen to their classmates and ask questions to validate if they have a matching card or object.
7. Once all students have found their group members, have each group discuss and share information about the theme or topic on their cards or objects.

To put students in groups while activating their speaking skills, you can try the following activity:

Activity for speaking skills activation:
1. Prepare a set of discussion or debate topics related to a subject being studied.
2. Divide the students into pairs or small groups, depending on the number of students in your class.
3. Assign a topic to each group or pair and instruct them to discuss or debate it.
4. Encourage the students to express their opinions, provide reasons to support their arguments, listen actively to their partners' viewpoints, and engage in polite and respectful conversations.
5. Monitor the groups or pairs, offering guidance and support as needed.
6. After the discussion or debate, ask each group or pair to share a summary of their main points or conclusions with the whole class.
7. Encourage the rest of the class to actively listen to the presentations and provide respectful feedback or ask questions.

These activities can help ensure that students are actively engaged in both listening and speaking skills while being grouped for collaborative work.
