They split into three or four teams – three or four members in each. Their companies need a name, a line of business to work in, a product or service to offer, a slogan, and a logo to be associated with and recognised by. At the same time the companies should be introduced. The next step is writing letters, memos, and e-mails. Next comes the subject of telephone conversations.

Janet's Abruzzo Edublog Jeremy Harmer | ELT writer, presenter, teacher & trainer What shape is your classroom?

A simple thing like moving the chairs into a different formation, and me standing at the front giving a very brief safety briefing (In case of emergency, the fire exits are in that corner…), was enough to get students imagining they were on a plane and meeting strangers for the first time. It only took a couple of minutes to move the chairs, and it created the right atmosphere immediately. It helped me to easily set up a role play – something which I’m trying to introduce to my lessons as part of my Delta reflection, by getting students in the right mindset. It was also easy to end the roleplay, as all I had to say was “Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the seatbelt sign and we will soon be coming in to land.” Like this: Like Loading...
