Comm 1B TOEIC Conversation Practice

ROLE-PLAYINGWork with your group tocreate a 4~5 minute role-playing
scene. Each group will choose a topic
from the box on the right. The 5topics can also be found in yourTOEIC textbooks.
Role-play Guidelines:
1. Be original and creative! Don’t beafraid to be unique. Give yourself a
new name and create a new identity.
You can be a foreign teacher, anangry boss, a crazy scientist, awhining child, a strict store clerk, oreven 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 theedge 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 yourscene, you will ask the audience 3
listening-comprehension questions
about your scene. They can be
multiple choice, short-answer, orTrue-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 bodylanguage to make your message
clear.
6. Practice. Meet with your groupoutside of class and practice
together. The best role-plays arewell rehearsed.
