I tell the students to work in pairs. Hand out the pieces of the sentence puzzle. I show one example, then the students put the pieces of each sentence together. The ones who finish first, can stick the sentence pieces in correct order on the board.

The students will work in 2 groups, A and B, to match the expressions in 7a, p.15. Students A will read the first sentence1-5, students B will match the answer a)-e). Then I repeat their matched sentences and ask another student to continue.

I will ask them where they would use specific expressions or who would use these.

Separate the students again into 2 groups. A read the instructions on p.15/8a. B do the same on p.158. They will have time to prepare a roleplay, where A will be the interviewer and B the interviewee. Help the ss, if needed and observe carefully.

Now Pair one of A with one of B and ask them to roleplay. Encourage the ss to roleplay now as if this was a real situation. Maybe you ask them what they are wearing, not to forget to shake hands, to be there in time, are the prepared? What about eye contact? By reminding them of these, I refer to the previous lesson and make the roleplay more entertaining. I monitor and make notes of good/bad language.

Now I make them put their notes aside and switch their roles. I will want them to roleplay spontaneously to see if they remember formal/informal expressions correctly. I monitor them and take notes.

I write good and bad language examples on the board and give them time to decide which ones are bad or good. How can we improve the bad ones?
