Learning pattern dialogue
Listening for:
 Information
 Studying
 Listening and reproducing the lines
 Listening and reading first as a text, then in pairs.
 Restoring the lines
 Extending the lines
 Role playing the dialogue
 Function - based transformation of a dialogue
 Situation - based transformation of a dialogue
 Topic – based dialogue
A good dialogue should:
• be short, no more then 12-20 lines
• have only two or three speakers
• be fairly realistic in terms of situation and
languages
• not introduce too much new material
• Contain one or two new grammar points, each
repeated two or three times
Making up dialogues
1.
Give pairs a situation card and tell them to decide who is going
to take which role. They prepare and practise together first,
then perform it in front of the class.
e.g. Card
Your friend didn`t meet you outside
the cinema. You want to find out why
A: So why didn`t you turn up? I missed the start of the film!
B: But I did! You weren`t there!
A: Yes, I was – outside The Rialto at 9. That`s what we agreed.
B: Yes, that`s where I was – The Royalty.
A: The what?
B: The Royalty – 9 o`clock!
A: No, no. Not The Royalty – The Rialto!!!
2. Pairs read the situation and write six phrases (of 2 – 7 words) on a piece of
paper that they would expect to hear in a dialogue in this situation. Choose
one pair to improvise a dialogue based on the phrases they have written,
and perform it for the class. The other students listen and tick off any
phrases they hear that are the same as the ones they wrote down. The
winner is the pair with the most correct predictions.
e.g. Card
You want your parents to buy you a
Motorbike for your 16th birthday.
A: What would you like for your birthday, Steven?
B: You know what I`d like.
A: What would that be?
B: I`d like a motorbike for my birthday.
A: Absolutely not!
B: Why not?
A: You`re too young.
B: I`m going to be 16 next month.
A: They`re dangerous.
B: But Jason has got one.
Why not
They`re dangerous
But … has got one
You know what I`d like
You`re too young
Absolutely not!
3. Choose something you are carrying or wearing (e.g. your
watch). Think of a price to “sell” it to your partner. Then, in
pairs, bargain for the object.
Seller
Buyer
Say hello.
Offer to help.
Ask the price of
something.
Say the price.
Ask to look at it.
Give him/her the object.
Comment on the object.
Make an offer.
Reject the offer.
Reduce price.
Offer to pay in cash.
Make third offer.
Give final price.
Accept.
4. Complete the phone conversation with the words and
phrases below and act out it.
I didn`t catch what you said
I just wanted to ask you
I said
I think I`ll
I`d better go
I`ll call you tommorow night
It`s me
No problem
Oh, hi
Pardon
See you
Is that you
Laura: Alison, (1) is that you? (2) …….., Laura.
Alison: (3) ……..! How are you?
Laura: Fine thanks. Look, I`m on a train. (4) ……… if you`re going to the gym tonight.
Alison: Well, I`m not sure. Lee phoned me and asked me to go for a drink with him.
Laura: (5) ………? We were in a tunnel then. (6) ……….. .
Alison: (7) …….. Lee has asked me to go for a drink tonight.
Laura: Oh. So are you going out with him or going to the gym?
Alison: (8) ………. Go for a drink with him if that`s okay.
Laura: Yeah. (9) ………. I`ll go to the gym on my own.
Alison: OK. (10) ……… Maybe we could go together then.
Laura: Fine. Look, Alison, (11) ………. . I`m losing the signal.
Alison: OK. (12) ……… .
Laura: Bye!
5. Two students are talking about the topic in the exam task
below. Can you put their dialogue into the correct order?
-
That’s true. We could make a chart showing the different possibilities for
qualifications.
Now, what do you think we should start off with?
Yes, why not? We all have that in common. How shall we do it?
Yes, that would make everyone feel directly involved.
She is, yes, but this is supposed to be our own ideas.
Could we ask your mother how to do it? She is a science teacher, after all.
Then we could ask the class if people in their families have those
qualifications.
That would be effective – nice and clear.
Why don`t we begin here? I mean, with the question of education.
