ROLE PLAYING ABOUT A TRIP

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:

You´re three students that like to travel and, want to get a tour with three different places
next vacation. Choose the best trip between two different tours.

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?
