Gibberish

Strategy Explanation: Gibberish is nonsense speech with no recognizable words in any language just a series of sounds to communicate a message. Students need to consider speed of voice, body language, facial expressions as these elements will help with communicating the message.

Age Recommendation: Gibberish is a strategy that may be more effective with older students. Since students need to rely on their body and face to express emotion and a message, students need to be able to be confident in their ability to do so before engaging in gibberish. This technique may also result in laughing and loss of focus during presentation as it seems and sounds funny. This is another reason why using this strategy with older students may be a good choice.

This strategy is inclusive for students with language barriers as they are not required to orally communicate to participate.
