Dialogue p.I51
1. With books open, ask students to identify and talk about the people in the picture. For
example, point to John and ask Who’s this boy? eliciting the answer, John. Then, point to Susan and ask Who’s that girl? eliciting the answer, Susan. Then, ask Is she
American? eliciting the answer No, she isn’t. She is English. Then, ask the same questions while pointing at different students in the class. Write the two questions,
Who’s this boy? and Who’s that girl?, on the board. Then, ask volunteers to come to the board and ask the questions to the class while pointing at different students.
2. Play the CD for the dialogue with books closed and ask students to complete the dialogue.
3. Play the CD for the dialogue again and ask the class to repeat the dialogue line by line after the recording with books closed. Now dividing the class into four groups, have
one group take John’s role, another group Susan’s role, a third group Mrs Kings’, and a fourth group Captain Roach’s role. Exchange roles and do it again.
4. With books open, have volunteers take part and read the dialogue. Check and if necessary model the correct intonation for questions and expressions.
5. To check comprehension, say the following sentences and have students correct them. The girl is Sandra. And that boy is Susan’s brother, Mike. That woman is Mrs Wilson.
Captain Roach is a teacher. 6. Pair work: With books open, students practice the dialogue, exchanging roles. Move
