Hi Pablo and all, Pln and I have been upgraded in the list of your friends as 'Dear Teacher Pln' and 'Dear Claire' from now on,haven't we?LOL You're getting sweeter and sweeter every day,aren't you?;) I hope I won't be disppointed if you forget to address us the same way again!LOL
Role-playing even works for people who conduct business or involve in politics. The think-tank provides them all the necessary data in order to help them prepare well for any possible scenarios. In this case of putting English in use,the teacher needs to be the think-tank to provide the students all the skills and useful expressions and make them try to use the patterns as much as possible while role-playing. Of course,as Pablo said,all these should be clearly written on the board or well-prepared as cue cards...;) If the teacher is well-experienced and the students highly- motivated,role-playing can be quite animated! Otherwise,this kind of exercise can be too fast and easily forgotten... I know some students are quite against role-playing because they say it's too artificial to do it in the classroom.For instance,pretending to be answering an urgent business phone call and to take a message for their colleague or manager...
