Comm	  2A	  TOEIC	  Conversation	  Practice	  ROLE-PLAYING	  Work	   with	   your	   group	   to	  create	   a	   4~5	   minute	   role-­‐playing	  scene.	   Each	   group	   will	   choose	   a	  topic	   from	   the	   box	  on	   the	  right.	   	  The	  5	   topics	   can	   also	   be	   found	   in	   your	  TOEIC	  textbooks.	  

Name	  ________________________________________________	  	  Class	  _________________________________________________	  TOPICS:■ Holiday Plans: What are you doing for summer vacation?	  

Role-­‐play	  Guidelines:	  1. Be	  original	  and	  creative!	  Don’t	  be	  afraid	  to	  be	  unique.	  	  Give	  yourself	  a	  new	  name	  and	  create	  a	  new	  identity.	  	  You	  can	  be	  a	  foreign	  teacher,	  an	  angry	  boss,	  a	  crazy	  scientist,	  a	  whining	  child,	  a	  strict	  store	  clerk,	  or	  even	  Santa	  Claus.	  	  	  2. Use	  6	  phrases	  or	  10	  keywords.	  	  	  Use	  your	  imagination	  and	  have	  fun.	  	  Just	  because	  you	  must	  use	  key	  words,	  it	  doesn’t	  mean	  your	  scene	  is	  limited.	  
For	  example,	  you	  may	  set	  your	  scene	  in	  any	  location:	  on	  the	  moon,	  on	  the	  edge	  of	  a	  volcano,	  or	  at	  the	  top	  of	  Mount	  Fuji.	  	  There	  is	  no	  limit	  to	  what	  you	  can	  create.	  
3. Prepare	  a	  script	  for	  your	  scene.	  	  Use	  the	  “Script”	  worksheet	  to	  write	  your	  script.	  	  Each	  group	  must	  submit	  1	  copy	  of	  the	  full	  script.	  
4. Prepare	  3	  listening	  comprehension	  questions.	  	  When	  your	  group	  finishes	  performing	  your	  scene,	  you	  will	  ask	  the	  audience	  3	  listening-­‐comprehension	  questions	  about	  your	  scene.	  	  They	  can	  be	  multiple	  choice,	  short-­‐answer,	  or	  True-­‐False.	  
5. Use	  good	  delivery.	  	  	  • Use	  a	  loud	  voice.	  
• Speak	  slowly.	  
• Make	  eye	  contact	  with	  audience.	  
• Memorize	  your	  scene	  and	  don’t	  use	  your	  paper.	  
• Use	  gestures,	  emotion,	  or	  body	  language	  to	  make	  your	  message	  clear.	  
6. Practice.	  	  Meet	  with	  your	  group	  outside	  of	  class	  and	  practice	  together.	  	  The	  best	  role-­‐plays	  are	  well	  rehearsed.	  

■ Resort Area: Have a nice, relaxing time.

■ Directions: Could you please tell me how to get to the store.	  	  ■ Job Experience: Do you have a part-time job?

■ Summer Sale: Are you a bargain hunter?	  	  	  	  	  ◆Overall	  participation	  scores	  will	  be	  based	  on	  the	  above	  criteria.	  	  	  Matthew	  Barbee,	  Kwansei	  Gakuin,	  2015	  Role-Playing
