BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communicative Skills) Could you repeat that, please? I am not sure to have understood What can you say about ….? What do you think about……? What does…………..mean? I take your point but…… I agree to a certain extent but…. You make a valid point but….. In my view…… Could you speak a little bit louder? Something good in the role play was / something to improve in the role play was……..

RULES Your role-play must be all in English. Think carefully how many characters your role-play will have and who represents each of them. You should think in advance what exactly your group wants to act out: * A whole day in the life of Romans * A specific moment of the day: during the breakfast, the lunch…. * A specific event in their lifes: celebrating the Sporting Games… * A specific moment in the life of women or kids or a soldier…. You have to familiarize yourself with different aspects in Roman daily life. Once you know what you are going to do, write down the play script in groups and start rehearsing.
