Resolving a Conflict With a Colleague: ESL Listening Dialogue (B2)

A B2 English listening dialogue. Two colleagues sort out a disagreement about shared work and credit. Use it for listening practice, role play or homework, and generate the audio in a US, UK or Australian accent.

Dialogue Script (2 speakers)

Hannah: Ravi, can I bring something up? It's about yesterday's meeting. Ravi: Sure. Is something wrong? Hannah: When you presented the budget plan, you didn't mention that I did most of the analysis. Ravi: Oh. <short pause> You're right. I didn't mean to take credit for it. Hannah: I believe you, but it felt pretty frustrating. Ravi: I completely understand. I was nervous and I rushed through the slides. Hannah: Could you mention it to the director? Ravi: Of course. I'll send an email today saying the analysis was yours. Hannah: Thanks. Going forward, could we agree who presents what before meetings? Ravi: Definitely. Then we're on the same page from the start.

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.
