Professional tip
. For example, put/draw some bubbles on pieces of paper, write the words on another for students to match them together. If you do this, put a cross in the top right hand corner of the paper, so students know which way round the bubbles are!
8 Teacher Speak
Intonation is extremely difficult to teach. How else can you help students with it? Think of three ideas, then compare with the key.
9 You're going to roleplay a similar café situation. Invite two friends for a drink and a snack. Play all three roles yourself, perhaps changing your voice for each character. Follow these steps and rehearse what you can say.. Invite them for a drink (and a snack)
. Choose your drinks (and a snack)
. Insist you pay
. Take the drinks to their table
. Comment on the drinks
. Invite somebody somewhere
. Insist
. Have an accident
. Apologise
. Insist you pay for the damage.
. Conclude the dialogue in a natural way.
10 Update your Portfolio. Act out the roleplay onto your Portfolio cassette. Don't forget to begin with the Unit reference, i.e. Unit 6D, exercise 10.
