Fotobabble - A good speaking tool for my ESL / EFL students

Fotobabble allows you to upload a picture and record audio , for up to one minute. For this assignment, I uploaded a picture of the four seasons I obtained from Google (usage rights: free to use or share). I then spoke about my favorite season (Spring ) and listed the reasons WHY Spring is my favorite season. I am presently teaching a TOEIC Speaking Test prep class. For a few of the questions, students will have to respond to a question asking their opinion. They will have to support their opinion with reasons and speak into a microphone, for less than a minute. So, this assignment will be good practice for them. I will ask my students to create a FREE Fotobabble account, upload the picture and speak for one minute.
