Speaking: Interacting with Others - Small Talk - CLB 1-4




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,
