During the class, I found it's easy to have kids build the oral pattern from the " Listening to the Dialog"

My steps:

1. play the CD track before the class time. (or during the break time). Let it repeat automatically by the CD player itself.
2. Assign students to be one of the charactors in the dialog. Follow the oral sentence pattern to tell students the senario, happening as back ground, and ask students what will they say at that situation.
3. Role play again with the answers students just answer you.
4. Change your role with students and role play again.
5. Pair students into two teams and assign them to play one of each role.

Students can easily copy the dialog and memorize those oral pattern to interact with each others.

Sit by the door of the classroom. Kids are required to role paly with teachers before they leave the class.

Normally I spend 30 mins to have the abouve cycle completed.
