Remember the goal is to find out what the students want to learn that they didn t have a chance to ask about during their visit. The process can take over an hour. At the end of the discussion, allow students to listen to the audiotape several times. Ask students in the outer circle to discuss their impressions. The audiotape can be transcribed to work on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.
Students write questions to e-mail the employees they met.
Students will write questions based on the recorded conversation. These questions will be checked and corrected by the teacher. Students were eager to talk once we got going. Nobody felt pressured to talk. Observers were extremely interested during the process.
