Vocabulary speaking practice

In this vocabulary speaking handout, learners work in pairs to decipher which adjective to describe a film suits the opinions of a range of people. The students read the quotes and choose the most appropriate word. A useful practice.

1. Copy one handout for each individual student and distribute them.

2. Focus students' attentions on the instructions. Students read the quotes about the films. They then discuss which adjective best suits each sentence and write the word that best describes the opinion of the person.

3. Monitor the students, and when appropriate provide any necessary individual language or vocabulary input.

4. Feedback the answers on the board. Clarify the accuracy of the answers and address any confusion or misunderstanding with the vocabulary items.

5. Draw the students' attentions to any specific mistakes if any seem prevalent during the activity and offer input.
