 SAYING IT ACCURATELY
What is it?
The exercises in this section focus on sentence structure and 
meaning, and allow the students to do tightly controlled 
practice of the model dialogue presented in 
Conversations
. 
Once you feel that students have a good understanding 
of the new vocabulary, allow them to build their own 
conversations, or to use the new language in a more 
improvised scenario. 
Suggested implementation:
1
Make role cards for students along the lines of the 
characters in the 
Conversations
. You can adapt the 
vocabulary used, the intent of the speaker, or the 
situation itself. 
2.
Try to think of scenarios that suit the profi le of your 
students: age, culture, reason for studying.
3.
Instead of role cards you can use pictures or just prompt 
words to trigger a change in the scene.
4.
Remember to pitch the improvisational requirements at 
the right level for your students. Such exercises can be 
frustrating for students if they are either too easy or too 
diffi cult to complete. 
SAYING IT CLEARLY
What is it?
Saying it clearly 
deals with issues such as pronunciation, 
letter sounds, linking, assimilation, silent letters and 
contractions.
