Speaking (A2 Pre-intermediate)
6.
Stop the game if the students are not getting the
intonation right. Model it again before restarting.
Using
Language note
The question tags in these conversations are confi rmations
(with falling intonation) rather than genuine questions.
You can use the introduction
of this grammar for a game
of question tag tennis.
1.
Explain the grammar as it is shown in the
Language
note
box.
2.
Explain to the students that the speaker is using falling
intonation because
they already know the answer, they
are just looking for agreement from the other person.
3.
Ask students to think of short statements like the ones
that precede the question tags in the
Language note
box
(i.e.
It’s very busy
,
…
and
You didn’t like your old job
,
…
).
You will have to allow some time for this.
4.
Put students in pairs and get them to say a short
statement to their partner. Their
partner can then add the
question tag. If they get it right, they can then reply with
a
short statement of their own; if they can’t think of a
reply, then the other speaker wins.
5.
Students can also play the game across the open class
to any other student (like the bean-bag game above).
You will probably need to
rehearse the game with the
students beforehand.
