              • Remind your students they
               should ask any questions
          racks 29, 30 and 31  • There are other tracks on the
               about the instructions before
               starting the activity, specifically
               if they are unsure about what is
               asked of them.

               difficulties and the strategies

               case, intonation, volume and
           T   used to resolve them. In this
               speed as prosodic features are
               present in every text, so the
               strategies for resolving them are
               pretty similar.

              • Fillers, despite their name,
               have a role in communication.
               Almost everyone hesitates
               when speaking, so fillers exist to
               hold the place while you think
               of a response. The problem
               is that most of the fillers in
               your students’ first language
               are not useful for signaling an
               English interlocutor that you
               are thinking. That is why it is
               important to know how to use
               these fillers.

              Activity 28
              • In real life, most interviews
               are not shot or conducted in
               one long conversation. When you read an interview in a magazine, for example, it is edited (the pauses,
               hesitations and even the order). Usually, the interviewer sends the questions in advance to the interviewee,
               who can then add or delete questions. Once they settle on the questionnaire, the interview is carried
               out. Then, the interviewer sends the final version to the interviewee before publishing it. In television, if
               the interviewee is not happy with what he said, it can be reshot. Live interviews are unusual and they are
               mostly about factual issues, for which the interviewee does not need to give complex explanations.
              • There are more tips about non-verbal language; for example, exaggerated or quick movements can startle
               people and are best avoided, leaning back or having a poker face can also be annoying.

              • Your students may have already learned how to improvise in their second year. Autonomy means the
               flexibility to create new content from scratch at a moment’s notice. Give them plenty of chances to
               improvise, not only in this practice but in others included in this year, so they can react more easily in case
          rack 32  • Although the suggested product is an interview, there are a number of options that can be followed with the
               they need to.


           T   same steps and by making minor adjustments. For example, they can record a video recommendation for a
               vlog (video blog) with shared impressions. They can also have an informal conversation, like role-playing.
