Small Talk
Speaking: Interacting with Others
CLB 1-4
Students enjoy practicing the art of "Small Talk" as it helps them gain confidence interacting with others. In Stage I classes, they are learning language chunks (Hello, My name is…, ….Have a nice day…. Goodbye…) in addition to:
Introducing
themselves and other people;
Taking turns
listening and speaking;
Using body language to show interest and confusion;
Talking about
themselves, their family and friends, and every day routines;
Asking questions about other people;
Answering questions asked;
Sharing personal
information like phone numbers and addresses; and
Understanding
relationships, and levels of formality.
Today's classroom ready packages includes a bonus. It includes two assessment forms. One that focuses on body language, and another one that includes speaking abilities as well as body language.
As this is a Microsoft Word File, please feel free to modify it to meet your needs.
You may want to:
- Delete or white-out the information for a level you are not assessing
- Add specific language / actions you have taught and want to assess
- Enlarge/ alter the students’ reflection area
All the Best,
