their conversation and to focus
on the acoustic features.

their work and provide help
when necessary.

and to decide who will say what.

the round table. They should
discuss different options for the
duration of it.

cons for each option and remind

with valid arguments.
Activity 27
• Encourage them to use the chart,
to answer the questions on it
and to complete the activities to
make sure their oral testimony
has everything it needs.

mistakes, synonyms, or if there are
ways of summarizing information.
They might want to merge two
topics into one or change a word
to eliminate a detail that could be
included in another one.

practicing their oral expression skills. They must participate in their conversation to become more fluent in
expressing ideas in English.

Activity 28
• Remind them to adjust the conversation and to make sure it sounds fluent and natural.
• Tell them to include all the adjustments they have made throughout the previous sessions.

will need it during the discussion and it is more discreet than a notebook.

• Discuss the best way to present the oral testimonies and help them decide who goes first.

• Tell them to be respectful while others are giving their oral testimony.
