Giving Feedback on a Presentation: ESL Listening Dialogue (B2)

A B2 English listening dialogue. A manager gives balanced, constructive feedback after a presentation. Use it for listening practice, role play or homework, and generate the audio in a US, UK or Australian accent.

Dialogue Script (2 speakers)

Manager: Nora, do you have five minutes for some feedback on your presentation? Nora: Sure. I was a bit nervous. Manager: It didn't come across that way. Your data was really clear and well organised. Nora: Thanks, I spent a lot of time on the charts. Manager: It showed. One thing to improve: you read quite a lot from the slides. Nora: Yes, I noticed people looking at their phones. Manager: Try to talk to the audience instead. Maybe ask them a question at the start to engage them. Nora: That's a good idea. Manager: And finish with one clear takeaway. What do you want them to remember? Nora: Got it. One message, fewer words on the slides. Manager: Exactly. Overall, a really strong first presentation.

How to Use It in Class

  • Before listening: pre-teach the key vocabulary and ask students to predict what happens.
  • First listen: students answer the comprehension questions without the script.
  • Second listen: give out the script and have students underline useful phrases.
  • Speaking: pairs role-play the dialogue, then change one detail and improvise.
