6 step Guide to the conversation…

Just to give you an idea of how it works 

The Facilitator instructions...
  • ​Participants select the cards randomly and unpack in the spaces provided on the board. This creates the scenario in which the conversation can be set.
  • Use the questions and prompts to embroider on a storyline and speculate about different angles and actions.
  • Create a habit of highlighting unknown or unfamiliar words, not only those selected in the jargon cards. Encourage recording and explanations of words. Allow practise of pronunciation and clarify spelling.
  • Encourage participants to welcome corrected grammar and to practise during the conversation classes.
