UNIT-FINAL TASK
🤔 Pre-class task
Prepare this assignment for your next class session. The goal of this assignment is to act out a natural conversation between (at least) two people who are getting to know each other. This is something that in a real-life situation can easily happen.
You will have this dialogue with your instructor. Prepare yourself for the dialogue. You will not have an option to read off of a script or your notes. A situation that you can find yourself in can include (you do not know which situation you will need to play):
- A dialogue between two students who met for the very first time.
- A dialogue between a new student and a professor.
The conversation will last approximately for 10-15 minutes. Be prepared, this is a lot of conversation, which at this point you are capable of doing – even if it may seem unrealistic to you. After you are done with your dialogue, I will ask you questions about your classmates/colleague/professor/student. I will play the role of an outsider who wants to know more about your friends. Be creative, explore your limits!
🗣️ In-class task
Listen to each of your classmates performing their dialogues. Take notes about their cultural performance. Your homework assignment will be to write a reflection on the cultural components that you noticed in each of your peers’ dialogues. When your classmate writes a response to your own performance, you will need to provide them with a follow-up and comment on their reflection.
As a person who is evaluating your peers’ performance, reflect on the following components:
- Evaluate how successful they were in navigating the conversation in a culturally appropriate way.
- Did they recognize and-or use expressions that present a figurative meaning?
- Were they able to recognize, understand, and react to non-verbal cues in dialogues with the instructor?
- What else could they have done in performing real-life situational discourse?
💬 Post-class task
After the role-play, you need to submit your notes from the class session on your peers’ performance. In this way, you’ll receive feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement, helping you to refine your skills further.
🙋 Optional task
As a person who is reading responses from your peers, you can engage further in the discussion. If you do, be sure to include at least the following in your comment
- Do you agree with them? If yes/no – why?
- What will you do to improve (if needed) your future dialogues?
- Any other comments?
