ACTIVITY SOLUTION

Step 1:

a. Check out and study the online content, Module 7 - lessons 1 and 2.
b. Check out and study the online content, Module 2- lesson 1 and Module 3, lesson 1.

This stage will help you to comprehend structures expected to be incorporated to your Oral
speech during the work interview.

Step 2:

a. Communicative Input (Individual work)

 Read the following questions so you can track the answers before you watch the video.

- Are they using any kind of non-verbal language such as gestures, body position
(hands), or facial expressions while talking or listening to each other? Study them
carefully.

- Can you notice the fluctuation in the tone and intonation of their voices? Try to
identify them.

- Is it evident any type of outfit they are using for the interview?

- Do you recognize any expression or word you have heard before? Write them down for
you to check them out later.

 Enter this link: https://bit.ly/3gb13Jj and follow these instructions:

- Watch and listen to the video (as many times as necessary), activating the subtitles in
English. The idea is to identify expressions, whole sentences and to familiarize them
with these sounds in English. Make sure you feel relaxed while doing it. (This is quite
important). All you must do is to make sure you understand the meaning of every single
word or expression spoken during the conversation.

- After this is done, you are ready for the next step: Watch the video again without
subtitles of any kind as many times as needed. The purpose of this is to watch and listen
trying to understand at least 60% of more of the whole conversation without reading. If
you feel it is necessary, play the video until you get it.
This stage is a very effective exercise to improve your Listening skills. It is important for
you to recognize that the success of this stage as part of the process of learning to speak
English, depends on your practice of the exercises suggested above. So, it absolutely
depends on you.

Step 3:

a. Communicative Output (Individual work)

 Choose just one out of the following 5 scripts to do this exercise. The scripts
reciprocate to 5 different questions from a regular job interview. Post in the Speaking
forum the number of the script you chose, so no one else picks the same.

Script 1:
Question: How did you hear about the position open with our company here?
“Well, when I heard about the opportunity of changing locations and moving from one
physical location to another, I thought about making a career move as well. And I was
starting with my main interests and passion. And I love being outside, I love doing outdoor
activities, and I love working with people. When I was looking Online, I found this website
and that there were positions available in this city area so I thought I would apply”.

Script 2:
Question: What else do you know about our company?
“I know you’ve been around for a long time since the late nineteen-thirties (1930’s), and
what really caught my attention was the idea that it was started by people who had a
passion for the outdoors and found the way to involve others in their experience. I like the
idea too that your company is consistently ranked among the top 100 companies to work
for”.

Script 3:
Question: Why do you want this position here within our customer service department?
“Because I wanted to start in a position that allows me to learn everything about the
company from the very basic level of interacting with the customers all the way up
throughout the sales process, the marketing process and the production of goods and
services. When I saw the opportunity with customer service, I thought this was a skill set
that I had and that I could bring to the company”.

Script 4:
Question: Can you tell me a little bit more about the skills that you transfer from your
previous line of work to our department here?
“Sure, in education is all about making the customer or student feel comfortable and
helping them grow. I feel that within a company like this it’s the same philosophy, getting a

customer comfortable with the product and helping them grow as they advance in whatever
the sport, they happen to be participating in.

Script 5:
Question: Why do you think our company should hire you specifically amongst our pool of
candidates?
“Sure, I think one skill set I have, involves my background in education; teachers are
among the highest stressed professionals in the workplace and this company offers a
number of products that help alleviate stress by getting people outdoors and teachers have a
lot of downtime in the summers. My thinking is that once I learn the ropes and advance
with the company, I will be able to market the services and products this company offers.

 Divide the script you selected into small sentences using the NaturalReader tool.

Then, listen up actively to each part of them as many times as you find it necessary until
you can repeat them without reading.

The idea of this exercise is that at the end, you will feel confident to express the whole
paragraph and mean it instead of memorizing word by word.
Focus on the message instead of the words. Remember, we learned Spanish because we
listened and repeated words and expressions we heard so, we learned by associating them
with ideas, not with words.

 Once all this is done, record a video of yourself showing your face and answering to
the question you chose in the script using the tools learned so far.

Facial expressions, non-verbal language, intonation, fluctuations, etc. are important aspects.
You cannot read aloud; otherwise, your video will not be graded.

Upload the video to YouTube or Google Drive and share the link in the forum. If you
developed your own answer you can use it instead, only if it contains the same number of
lines and ideas of the script. It will be assessed with the very same criteria. This stage will
help you to prepare for the work interview.

Step 4:

a. Communicative Output (Collaborative work)

 Then, reply in the forum to one of the videos posted by your e-mates. The opinion
stated must be written in English according to the level you are enrolled in and it has to
be meaningful and elaborated. Use a minimum of 70 words to provide your opinion.

It is suggested (same as in task 2), to check and do the exercises of the Online content:
module 11, lesson 9 and 10 to learn how to express opinions.
