Stage One: developing dialogical skills at a dialogical unit level.
It is aimed at developing the skill of differentiating between different communicative types of responses and reproducing them after the teacher. Ex-ses to be used - are of receptive and reproductive character:
· receptive ex-ses:
· imitation ex-se:
· substitution ex-ses;
· question-answer ex-ses (find – out and guessing games);
· respond to my statements;
· give a proper context to…
· make up a DU by analogy;
· songs for teaching elements of the D;
· jazz-chants; small-talks.
Stage Two: developing dialogical skills above the dialogical unit level.
it is aimed at developing the skills of producing microdialogues with the help of different props:
2) ex-ses at giving the proper context to the responses of a D based on simplified pictures;
3) ex-ses aimed at the extension of a D. e.g. Listen to the beginning of the D and enlarge it;
4) stripped dialogues:
5) ex-ses at transforming a M into a D:
· Indirect transformation: listen to the text and discuss it in pairs.
· Direct transformation: listen to the text and reproduce the conversation of the characters;
· Additional transformation: listen to the text and discuss its events, comparing them with the same events in your life;
6) Ex-ses aimed at making a D based on its content rendered in indirect speech. e.g. Listen to the dialogue and cut it short.
7) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D on the basis of its beginning, end or its central part.
8) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D on the basis of the theses of each role.
9) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D on the basis of a series of pictures. e.g. Look at the pictures and try to guess what will happen next or Play one of the roles below (work in pairs).
Stage Three:developing dialogical skills at the discourse level.it is aimed at developing the skills of producing independent dialogues:
1) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D based on a picture:
2) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D based on a verbal visuality: Look at the invitation card and plan the coming week-end:
Please, do join us for a picnic
Our Zhitomir Sports Club invites you to the meeting on…
Come to our tourist club party on…
We request the pleasure of your company at a reception…
3) Ex-ses aimed at composing a D without any props:Discuss in pairs the film/TV program/concert/play you saw yesterday.
How to work at the model-dialogue:
Step 1: listen to the dialogue recorded on the tape and answer the teacher’s questions or say whether it is true or false;
Step2: listen to the dialogue using the verbal visuality (printed text);
Step3: listen to the particular lines of the D, practise their pronunciation and intonation;
Step4: read the dialogue: a) as a whole text; b) in parts;
Step5: reproduce the dialogue, restoring the particular lines of one of the characters;
Step6: reproduce the D in roles (parts);
Step7: extend the lines of the D in accordance with the communicative task;
Step8: transform the D, changing one of the replies;
Step9: make up a dialogue by analogy within the same topic, but in a different situation, between the different communicators, with a different communicative task.
Step10: make up a topic-centered dialogue based on microdialogues.
