Pedagogy. 2nd Edition

S4: It’s Debbie.

SS: This is Debbie.

T: Oh, hi, Deb, how’re you?

S6: Fine

S7: Do you want to go to the movies?

S8: Do you have time to see a movie?

(This format continues until the conversation is completed and all students have

participated.)

6. POST-LISTENING ACTIVITY

Teacher passes out eight different movie ads to eight students (see samples on ad

page). Teacher puts a second phone on the front table.

T: OK, everyone with an ad, please get a partner who does not have an ad. S1 and S2 (one pair-group), please come up to these phones. S1 has a newspaper ad for a movie. She will call S2 and ask him to go to that movie with her. Be sure to arrange the following things in your phone conversation (write these on the board):

1. 
   What movie?
   
2. 
   What time?
   
3. 
   Which theater?
   

The students come up in pairs and have very short phone conversations to arrange going to a movie together. If there is not time for each pair to come to the front and use the phones, pairs can work on their conversations at their desks.

7. EXTRA-CLASSWORK ASSIGNMENT

Teacher passes out DATEBOOK/MOVIE GUIDE page to each student.

T: Everyone please choose a theater from this page. (Make sure each stuclent chooses a different theater.)

Circle the theater and the phone number on your handout.

3.
