2. If they don’t have at least three examples of each, they
should elaborate their conversation further to include
them.
3. Let students perform their conversations within their
groups at this stage, and monitor for clarity and
intonation.
Using Get speaking Get speaking is a roleplay that self-study students can do
with the CD, but the classroom environment allows you to
use it in a different way and extend its scope.
1. Before the class ask students to take a photograph of
their room at home, or their offi ce, or some other place
familiar to them. They can bring it in on their phone
or camera, or print it out. (If this is not appropriate or
possible, provide them with a generic photo of the same.)
2. Instead of using the CD for the
Get speaking exercise,
photocopy the two halves of the dialogue in the
Get speaking matching activity sheet below.
3. Cut the dialogue up and get pairs of students to match
the question and reply.
4. The pairs can then practise the dialogue together.
5. Then get the pairs of students to show each other their
photos of home, and ask each other similar questions of
what they see.
Using My review 1. Get students to review the dialogues they have written
as groups or pairs, and fi nd three examples in their
dialogues of each of the can-do statements. If they
cannot fi nd three, get them to elaborate their dialogue
further until they have.
2. Students practise in pairs or groups one last time before
performing the scene for the whole class.
