§Use
of smartphones in class
You can make your students use their smartphones during the lessons to practice a vsriety of things without downloading any internet applications. All you need is internet connection and whatsapp, which all students have if they have a smart phone. The instructions for all the tasks start with the same sentence: ' TAKE OUT YOUR SMARTPHONES' which really draw students' attention.

§Use
of blogs with students
Because all you need is a gmail account to open a blog in www.blogger.com, you can open a blog for your class, and from time to time you can ask your students to produce some paragraphs, dialogues, to post them in their blogs. Students are more motivated to produce something if they know that it will be published online. The following link is an example from my classroom:
