Role play
Role-plays are one of the
ways for using English in lifelike situations and practice your conversational
skills. You take on a different role or personality. For example, you may
be asked to take on the role of "an angry neighbor" which may be out
of character for you.
STEPS:
- Get together with a partner.
- Decide who will be A and who will be B.
- Read your role card and your partner’s.
- Pay special attention to the language structures/ vocabulary suggested.
- Start a conversation with your partner based on the situation given.
- Try to both ask and answer questions so that no one dominates the dialog.
- Speak as much as possible, and remember to round off the conversation naturally.
- Finally, exchange role cards and take on the other side of the dialog.
