Summary/Abstract: Speaking is a skill that is part of daily life and people do not like to feel they struggle when they need to cooperate in their speaking turns. Therefore, whenever being asked to teach a conversation class you start wondering whether the learner really sees it as pure free speaking or they may also be interested in having their course “spiced up” with grammar, vocabulary and perhaps some reading and listening. When the course is an institutional one, placed in a professional/ business context,there is already one more stakeholder. This paper is addressing some of the aspects a trainer has to tackle in order to meet both needs and expectations.
