The role plays include visual prompts, audio files, and discussion questions. This helps create a comprehensive and engaging learning environment. The practical, real-world scenarios help students develop essential language skills, including pronunciation, listening comprehension, speaking fluency, and cultural awareness. This multi-modal approach gives teachers flexibility and creates a more vibrant classroom atmosphere.
Accepting a Delivery Role Play
This exercise consists of a dialogue between a delivery person and a customer, plus discussion questions exploring delivery apps, tracking systems, and cultural practices. Through vocabulary building, role-play practice, and conversation prompts about personal experiences with online shopping and home delivery services, students practice both digital and traditional aspects of package delivery.
Business Expansion Role Play
The Business Expansion worksheets guide students through essential elements of modern business growth, from initial planning to cultural considerations. Using a manager-employees role-play dialogue alongside questions about global markets, cultural awareness, team diversity, and leadership skills, the worksheets integrate vocabulary learning with real-world business concepts. This dual approach allows students to discuss tactical and strategic aspects of international business development while building their business English communication skills.
