Sample Dialogue

SAMPLE DIALOGUE FOR INTERMEDIATE STAGE AND ABOVE

DIALOGUE
Teacher: Lets read the dialogue together. You will be A and I will be B and C, okay? Lets
start.
Student: Now, may I begin by suggesting an outrine for this mornings 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. Smiths lines, Please say the word outline again. Outline.
Student: Out-rine.
Teacher: You have to make the /l/ sound. Line. Out line.
Student: Oh, sorry. Outline.
Teacher: Perfect. Lets continue.
NOTE:
Continue the dialogue with your student. Correct the students 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: Its better to say, they have a problem with product quality. Dont forget to use
articles when needed. Lets say that again.
Student: They have a problem with product quality.
Teacher: Right. What was Mr. Johnsons suggested solution to their problem?
Student: They should take responsibility and make public apologies.
Teacher: Exactly! Lets look at the next part.
PHRASES
Teacher: These are some phrases that you can use as a meeting chairperson. Lets practice 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 mornings 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 linesa picture of numbers.
Teacher: Oh, you mean a graph? A bar graph or line graph?
Student: Yes, a graph. Whats the difference?
Teacher: (puts links of pictures of bar graphs and line graphs) I think its 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 students mistakes if necessary.
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.
