Impromptu Tasks
Hilary de Joux (Nelson College for Girls) has put together these little scenarios. Inspired from a Drama course they consist of acting out situations within a theme and using particular vocabulary fields. They have been successful in her classses and have inspired spontaneous conversations and confidence conversing with each other. Use one scene at a time or give the document as a handout for students to select from. Hilary stresses this flexible activity is easily adapted and changed to suit the students and their particular interests/numbers of students in your class/ varying levels/ time requirements etc.
