Dear Hananeh,
A. Ask 2 (or more) of your students to give a spoken �role-play�. They must act and speak as if it was normal life!
1. Student �A� has lost his/her wallet/purse, containing 100 dollars (?), a passport, photo of Mother.
Student �B� is Police Officer.
�A� asks �B� for help and both exchange all necessary information --- name, address, telephone, where lost, what happens next, etc.
2. �A� goes into radio shop to return a radio bought yesterday --- radio is not working properly. �B� is shop assistant. Solve this situation!
3. �A� is a Customer and goes into a restaurant. Greetings. �A� asks for menu, then 4 things to eat and 2 things to drink. �B� is the Waiter/Waitress and tries to get the Customer to buy more food. Customer eats, asks for bill, pays, gives tip, farewells.
4. �A� wants to buy a red sweater for a party on Saturday and goes to �The Sweater Shop�. Assistant �B� has many sweaters, but NOT red. �A� must have a new sweater for Saturday. �A� and �B� must find a satisfactory solution.
5. �A� telephones �Student Taxis� to order a taxi for 6 people, (1 is in a wheelchair) for 7 o�clock tonight. �A� must give all necessary information. �B� is the Receptionist for �Student Taxis� and must ask all necessary questions --- name. address, time, destination, when returning home, etc. �A� needs to know the cost and also, can the taxi-driver assist with the wheelchair, because the house has 3 steps to the front door.
6. �A� goes to the Railway Station to buy tickets, for self, friend, and baby aged 1 year to travel to Teheran (?). Ticket Assistant, �B�, asks questions --- day, time, Return or Single, Adult or Child, etc. �A� wants a train with Toilet and Restaurant, and needs to know the cost of tickets. �A� buys the tickets.
B. Have a Competition called �Categories�, Men versus Women/Young versus Old/Left of class versus Right or similar.
The Teacher decides the Category: Colours; Jobs or Professions; Drinks; Food; Clothes; Verbs; Buildings; Things in the House; Wild Animals; Farm Animals; etc.
COLOURS: Person 1 in Team �A� begins, and says: �Green�; Person 1 in Team �B: �Red�; Person 2 in Team �A�: �Orange�; Person 2 in Team �B�: �Black�, etc.
If you wish, after the colour, each Person must then give a sentence: �I am wearing a green sweater�, etc. Or spell �Green --- G.R.E.E.N�
Keep a score --- the best Team receives APPLAUSE.
C. Ask each Student in turn to stand at the front and give a Spoken Presentation, (approximately 5 minutes), of himself/herself --- �My name is; my address is, etc. My family; my job; my hobbies; my favourite food, sport, entertainment, etc�
At the end: �Do you have any Questions?� Students in the Class ask Questions, (�What is your brother�s name?� How old are you? Where were you born?� etc.), and the Student at the front answers.
D. Have a little party where everyone brings, and describes the food.
I hope that I have given you some ideas.
