Teacher: "Good morning, everyone! I want to tell you a short story about my weekend. I went to a big shopping mall to buy a gift for my friend's wedding. It was so difficult! First, I asked the shop assistant: 'What is this?' She showed me a vase. I said, 'No, bad.' Then I saw a book and said, 'Yes, good.' I bought it. My friend was happy, but I think I could have done better. What do you think? Was my shopping successful?" Pause for reactions. "Right, maybe not perfect. What was wrong with my questions and reactions? Let's think about what makes a good conversation when buying a gift. Today's topic is 'Buying a Gift'. We will learn to ask better questions and respond more flexibly." |
Students listen to the story. They identify the mistakes: the questions are too simple ('What is this?'), the responses are rude or inflexible ('No, bad', 'Yes, good'). They show curiosity and suggest better phrases. | Descriptors (no points): • The student listens attentively. • The student identifies at least one mistake in the teacher's dialogue (e.g., simple question, impolite disagreement). • The student shows curiosity by volunteering an improved phrase. |
- - AI Tool: ChatGPT can be used beforehand to generate variations of a poorly constructed dialogue to use as an engagement trigger, ensuring it contains clear examples of non-complex questions and inflexible responses. |
