dc.description	Making students speak a foreign language (FL) in the classroom is considered to be a difficult task for teachers all around the world. In a typical classroom, students tend to avoid speaking a FL for several reasons. This prompts teachers to look for new ideas to motivate their students towards an oral practice. A wide range of activities which work just for a single situation are available, but few general methods for encouraging verbal production of FL can be found. This article proposes a possible alternative: the Chungopoint (Rubio y Petidier 2002), a method devised to use at anytime with oral activities no matter the structures or points involved. By using this method, students find themselves interacting in the FL in a playful way. When language students get used to it, oral activities become a natural, desired, and meaningful part of the class.
