Restaurant Menu
I use this a stimulus material for students to devise and act out their own role-plays in a restaurant. Usually pair work but it can extend to the role of several customers, waiters and a restaurant manager too. I extend this by throwing in some complaints as well! Could be useful for teaching the conversation skills needed for ordering food, etc.

The job interview
This is an activity whereby the students are directors of a company and they must hire one of four applicants. You should start by talking about a job interview including associated vocabulary. This activity is really about choosing the best candidate for the job. I use one Chinese candidate but you can modify it to suit the host country.
