Choose Your Role-Play
Learners pick the scenario themselves — the topic matters to them, so the language does too.
Conversation Creation
No prescribed textbook dialogues to memorize — learners choose their own role-plays and create their own unique conversations.
Why It Works
Learners pick the scenario themselves — the topic matters to them, so the language does too.
The exercise elicits what students already know and asks them to put it into practice, creating original dialogue.
Engaging others in conversation and persuading a partner to cooperate — abilities many young people need to grow.
Model conversations and guidance wait in the endnotes for anyone who wants extra help along the way.
The Method
The learner stands in the foreground: asked to think critically and create, not recite. By constructing their own dialogues rather than repeating pre-written examples, adolescents and young adults develop authentic communication skills that stay with them.
