Unit 5: Role-Plays

Summary

In this lesson, the teacher sets up a marketplace to use in a shopping role-play. We join the class as the teacher is reviewing common phrases for shopping exchanges. Students separate into groups using a method that requires them to talk with each other.

Students use new language in a authentic context through their role-plays. The shoppers and shoekeepers have different information. This creates a purpose for their communication.
