SAMPLE DIALOGUE FOR INTERMEDIATE STAGE AND ABOVE
DIALOGUE
Teacher: Let’s read the dialogue together. You will be A and I will be B and C, okay? Let’s
start.
Student: Now, may I begin by suggesting an outrine for this morning’s session? First, we
will have Mr. Smith outrine the main quality problems found in our products and our
current market situation. Then we will sketch some solutions. Next, I will give the
floor to Mr. Smith.
Teacher: Okay, before I read Mr. Smith’s lines, Please say the word ―outline‖ again. Out-
line.
Student: Out-rine.
Teacher: You have to make the /l/ sound. Line. Out –line.
Student: Oh, sorry. Outline.
Teacher: Perfect. Let’s continue.

NOTE:
Continue the dialogue with your student. Correct the student’s pronunciation if necessary.
After you finish reading the dialogue, you can ask comprehension questions about it.

Teacher: The dialogue showed us what can happen in a meeting. What was the meeting
about?
Student: They have problem about product quality.
Teacher: It’s better to say, ―they have a problem with product quality‖. Don’t forget to use
articles when needed. Let’s say that again.
Student: They have a problem with product quality.
Teacher: Right. What was Mr. Johnson’s suggested solution to their problem?
Student: They should take responsibility and make public apologies.
Teacher: Exactly! Let’s look at the next part.

PHRASES
Teacher: These are some phrases that you can use as a meeting chairperson. Let’s prac-
tice using these phrases. Pretend that you are the chairperson and we have a
meeting about our sales target for this month. Use the phrases on the right.
Student: Now may I begin by suggesting an outline for this morning’s session? First we will
look at a picture that shows the trend of our sales last month.
Teacher: Picture?
Student: You know, the one with numbers and lines…a picture of numbers.
Teacher: Oh, you mean a graph? A bar graph or line graph?
Student: Yes, a graph. What’s the difference?
Teacher: (puts links of pictures of bar graphs and line graphs) I think it’s better to use line
graphs for sales projection because a line graph shows a trend while a bar graph
compares things. Also, instead of ―outline‖, we can also say ―agenda‖. An agenda is
a list of things to be discussed during a meeting.
Student: How do we use it in a sentence?
Teacher: You can say, ―our agenda for this meeting is as follows…‖, then you can list the
things that you need to discuss.
Student: Okay.

NOTE:
Continue to practice using the phrases on the list. Correct the student’s mistakes if neces-
sary.
Try to add more helpful information on useful words and phrases that your student can use
during meetings. Provide synonyms or alternatives whenever possible.

MORE HELPFUL EXPRESSIONS

Teacher: There are additional expressions on page 3. If you enroll with us, we can continue
to practice these helpful expressions together in a future lesson.
