Feelings and emotions are very difficult to express in a non-native language. Help students talk about their feelings by introducing common phrases and giving them the opportunity to practice using them. If your students all respond “I’m fine, thank you.” to the question “How are you?” encourage them to use other vocabulary words to be more specific. Your class before lunch might start to rely on “hungry” which is not an emotional but a physical state while the last class of the day might always be “tired” so give them practice activities that let them think about other occasions. “How do you feel in the morning?” or “How do you feel on your birthday?” type questions will allow students to think of different responses.
