Productive Skills - Speaking about Dreams
Pre-Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students will practice what they've learnt from the previous two lessons, but with less controlled and freer speaking practices. They will interview each other to collect information, and use collected information to construct inventive dialogue. They will have time to prepare and they will be given a model in the beginning of the lesson, and will be provided with skeleton phrases to construct their inventive dialogues. I will use a variety of interaction patterns, pair work for interview, scaffold the inventive dialogue and then group work for Sts to collaborate and share their dialogues on dream interpretation.
