Tell the students that they will be having a phone conversation. Person A will be asking information about their attraction and person B needs to find the information from the leaflet.

Explain to the students that all the information that they will be asked is on the leaflet (exactly like when we did the Sea Life task together) and that they need to find the information and then give the specific information that the customer is asking for. The person asking the question must write down the answer they have been given by the assistant.

Give the role-play instructions out.

Put the students in pairs.

Allocate a letter to each student.

Feedback

Hand out the hand-out.

Free practice of role play.

Now ask the students to work together and check the answer they have been given by the assistant. Has the correct information been given? Have they missed anything? Could they assistant have given any other information?

Once this task is completed summarise. Explain to the students that today we have gone through an authentic leaflet made for ordinary members of the public. It has not been modified in any way to cater for foreign students. We have learned how to skim read and then read for specific detail. We have learned how to extract specific information from the text and how to communicate that information.

Ask the students if they have any questions. If they do then I will answer the questions as accurately as possible. If the students do not have any questions then thank the students and tell them I have really enjoyed teaching them.
