together. Tell the Student Bs that they should start
the conversation. They are not allowed to write – they
should try to remember what their partner says.
• When they have finished this first conversation, move
one Student B to the opposite end of the line and
move all the Student As along one place so that they
are facing a different partner.
• Now, they read the dialogue again with their new
partner.
• Repeat this process until they have practised with
every partner, or you feel they have read the dialogue
enough times to remember it.
• Divide the class into smaller groups. Tell the Student
As to sit together in small groups and the Student Bs
to sit together in small groups.
• Ask each group to complete the dialogue by writing
in the missing words.
• One pair from each group should act out the
dialogue so that the other groups can check their
answers.
• Option: With a stronger group, at the end of the
lesson you could ask them to try to act out the
dialogue again without looking at their handouts.
