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.
