Spice up your dialogues! Adapting communicative activities from Postcards Stephanie Kasten, OMN 107 Tumbaco, Ecuador April 2013

Goals for this presentation 1) PCVs will learn more communicative activities to do with Postcards dialogues 2) PCVs will share these activities with teachers back at site 3) Teachers will replicate these activities in the classroom 4) Students will feel more comfortable speaking and listening in real-life situations

Before we begin... What activities do you and your teachers already do with dialogues?

The book is not the Bible!

Why are dialogues important? Model real-life situations Pronunciation Teach new grammar and vocab Students use what they've learned Shy students can step outside boundaries Fun, non-formal language practice!

Before the dialogue... Ask questions about the picture How many people are there? Who are they? Where are they? What are they doing? What are they talking about? How do they feel?

Reading and listening to the dialogue Review new vocab Fill in the blanks Synonym check Identify speakers' emotions/personalities

Speaking the dialogue Team speaking Pronunciation check Act with emotions Try new roles Bring props Memorize and perform (with a twist)

Andy: So where would you like to go today, Brian? Brian: I'm not sure. Can I look at the map? Venetian Pool... is that just a pool? Andy: Not really. There are also waterfalls and restaurants there. Brian: Let's go there! Where is it? Backchaining for pronunciation

Get creative! Students can adapt their own ideas from the text Make it an interview >Choose a character to interview >Write 3 questions for the character >One student answers as the interviewee Write an alternative ending >Cut off the dialogue at a critical point >Students write/brainstorm alternative solutions What's next? >Students write/brainstorm a sequel >Draw a cartoon – “The next day...”/“Five minutes later...”

Let's try it! Who are these lovely people and what on Earth are they doing?

Andy: So where would you like to go today, Brian? Brian: I'm not sure. Can I look at the map? Venetian Pool... is that just a (1) __________ ? Andy: Not really.

And what about Coconut Grove? What's that? Andy: It's Liza's favorite place. It's (4) __________ __________ Coral Gables. Liza: It's a shopping place. There are really great restaurants there, too.
