3 Jumbled Dialog

This activity aims to practice making an appointment. It also encourages students to improve their reading, listening
and speaking skills by communicating with each other.

Materials and Preparation

Copy and cut out the worksheet on page 22 for each pair of students.

Procedure

1 Have students work in pairs. Assign their roles. Student A is the secretary, and Student B is the job applicant who is
making an appointment.
2 Give out the copies to the corresponding students. Student A and Student B sit in a way that they can’t see each
other’s paper.
3 Tell students that each of them has the half of a dialog, but the sentences are in the wrong order.
4 Tell students not to look at each other’s papers. Have them put the conversation in the correct order by reading out
the sentences and writing numbers in the blanks.
5 Student A starts the dialog by reading out the first sentence. Student B listens, looks for a convenient answer in his/
her paper and then reads it out to Student A. If they both agree on the correct answer, Student B writes number 2
next to the sentence. The activity goes on like this until the whole conversation is put in the correct order.
6 When the task is completed by all the pairs, elicit the answers.
7 As an extension, you may ask students to prepare a similar dialog.

4 On the Phone

The aim of this activity is to practice talking on the phone. Students will be able to improve their reading, speaking and
listening skills by using their role cards.

Procedure

1 Have students work in pairs.
2 Give each pair three sets of role-play cards (Student A and Student B).
