Practice, Practice, Practice
The majority of every lesson is spent practicing that day's target language in pairs. Student A asks student B the target question, and student B answers. Student A then asks two or more follow-up questions related to the answer received. After both students have had a chance to ask and answer questions, students find a new partner and do the same thing over again.

When Struggling, Ask the Teacher
When students are struggling to ask or answer questions, can't think of a vocabulary word, or just need a bit of support, they should always ask the teacher. The teacher takes notes on the whiteboard so that students can refer back to them when needed. The teacher is there for your support, so don't be afraid to ask for it when needed.
