ROLE PLAYING ABOUT A CONCERT

Introduction about to the Role Playing

Participants in role playing assignments adopt and act out the role of characters in particular situations. They may take
on the personalities, motivation, backgrounds, mannerisms, and behaviors of people different from themselves. Role-
playing conversations is a wonderful way to practice foreign language skills.
Debate or discussion where the students might be asked to take one of two positions or perspectives in a debate
situation. In an online environment, the debate could take place live through chat, audio, or video conference. Working in
pairs, students could create a collaborative presentation following the debate format. Each student would create every
other slide.

The role playing situation:

same date, now you have to choose only one.

 Resources
The students might conduct their own investigation of a campus or other public place to explore the topic.
Through role playing, scenarios, and simulations, learners can apply course content to authentic situations, using the vocabulary that we
have known, act similar to really situation.
If you plan to include lots of scenarios, consider a standard format for presentations.
Remember, our goal is to practice the communication and all others skills. Provide questions to address: What would you do? What is
your plan? Who would be involved? What strategies will be used? What resources are you going to need? What additional questions
would you ask? What information do you need?
