Conversation Practice
Building Conversation Activities for the Language Lab
• What is the information gap and the target language ?
• i.e. what are your students talking about? How are they going to talk about it?
• If necessary, create a document to send to students that they will refer to in conversation – a map, menu, set of photos, etc.
Conversation Tool • Make sure headsets are plugged in!
• You can manually adjust partners.
• Use the “intercom” tool to talk with students if there is an odd number.
File Control • Useful for sending students maps, menus,
photos, and other conversation aids.
Getting to know you…
• Students are paired randomly using conversation tool
• Every 2-3 minutes, their partners are switched.
Telephone Conversation
• Students each get a caller and receiver card.
• Take turns exchanging phone messages.
