Giving less-confident speakers frequent opportunities to talk to the class, by choosing them purposefully, can enable them to become more confident.
For example:
Josie, please will you read out our success criteria.
Manjum, what did you and your partner decide?
Which method do you prefer, Ryan?
Who is your favourite character in the story? [pause for thinking time] Amina?
Be sensitive and nurturing in your manner and your tone of voice.
