Unit-final task
🤔 Pre-class task
Prepare yourself to make a dialogue (role-play) and include the following elements. One of you will be an international student and your instructor will play the role of a local friend. Use all previous tasks in this unit to inform you and help you make a meaningful dialogue.
Scenario
You are an international student who is planning a trip with your local friend. You will be asked to negotiate where to go based on everyone’s interests. In your conversation be sure to include why you want to go to your proposed destination, how to get there, who you want to invite, and express your plans/ideas for the trip.
Have in mind that whatever you propose for the trip you will need to have an answer to the question “why” – the goal is to give as much information as possible. The conversation might bring to the table your past travels and experiences as well. The goal is to mimic the real life conversation and your instructor (who will be playing the role of your local friend) might expand the conversation to any component that you mention while performing the task.
During this task you might be asked to check the bus/train itinerary to see if there are seats available and at what time you could all leave.
Note: All locations should be authentic and related to the target area.
🗣️ 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?
