Watch and take part
Use these steps to:
...prepare learners for what they might hear or need to say in a given situation.
Select video clips...
...featuring exchanges of information or transactions.
Dialogues between employee and customer in restaurants, hotels, shops, stations
and airports can all be exploited in the following way.
|
- Before watching, explain the scenario of the video clip, in the target language
appropriate to the learners.
- Invite suggestions
as to some of the expressions that might come up in that context.
- Watch the video. Check if the suggested expressions featured and add others appearing in the clip.
- Work in pairs. Run the video again, pausing just before the employee speaks, and ask the pairs to suggest what he/she might say. Now do the same but pausing before the customer speaks.
- Ask the pairs to write an alternative script to the clip. Play it once more, this time without sound, and ask each group to "dub" it, reading from their own script.
