ROLE PLAY - LESSON 1

This PowerPoint contains 10 slides (right click the link and select "Save Target As...")

Students use these interactively on their own computers. Again sound is used and VBA boxes to be used in View Show. They can print their work for correction by the teacher when exercises are completed.

Slides 2-4: examples of Foundation role plays. Students are to prepare each role play within 10 minutes (preparation time in exam). They can then listen to it by clicking on the symbol.


Slides 5-6: A list of key role play sentences. This exercise enables students to practice the most common expressions and check their answers by listening to the answers.

Communication is key so you may allow spelling errors in preparing those exercises as this is about SPEAKING.

Slide 7: The match up exercise is to help students visualise the words and their spellings and maybe compare them with some they may have used in the previous exercises. They may correct some spelling errors/structures. They can listen to the answers.

Slides 8-9: The students can read the role play first, then they can click and ‘their’ part will disappear. They can then try to remember it. The role play can also be listened to for pronunciation.

Slide 10: the last few tips- the students may not understand the teachers’ part in the role play but as long as they know when it is their turn to speak then they can still get full marks!
