Activities- Asking for Repeats
Whole Class- Appropriate Responses The teacher should go around the room and ask students questions that have difficult vocabulary, are mumbled, or are incomprehensible. Say it so they are forced to practice the phrases used when asking for repeats.
Group Work- A Skit Divide the class into groups of 2 or 3. Students work together to develop a skit that is grammatically correct about guests asking for repeats. Remember, the staff should have limited English ability and poor pronunciation, so no matter what they say, the guest still do not seem to understand. Use gestures, sign language, and facial expressions to make yourself understood. Once the skit is developed, students present it to the teacher and rest of class. The teacher judges the skit based on grammar and language use, originality, and acting ability. Be a little silly and have fun!
