If you are teaching vocabulary for foods, have students go on a scavenger hunt to the grocery where interaction with a clerk is required. It seems that the more students are doing outside of the classroom, the faster their oral skills improve.

How about training for volunteers to assist teachers? Testing mentioned? Would be nice if library facility could have some "realia" for teachers to use in their lessons such as play money, telephones, ads and coupons from papers, magazines, kitchen objects, etc. I had to drag a lot of stuff around!
