Several archive photographs show members working in small groups around tables. A laptop sits between people rather than in front of a single presenter. The visible task is shared, even when the exact brief is not recorded.
A shared project can make language practice less abstract. People need to compare an idea, choose a direction, explain a change, or ask what happens next. The work supplies the vocabulary with a purpose.
Use the task as a prompt
One person can summarise what the group has decided. Another can ask the next question. Someone else can write down useful phrases that appeared naturally during the work.
Roles should stay light. They are there to widen participation, not to turn a conversation into a test.
Record only what helps
A short note after the activity can keep one phrase, one question, and one thing the group wants to try next. That is enough to give the following session a place to begin.
